It's not the final destination 
It's the journey on the way 
And I can feel these times are changing 
And nothing could stand in my way 

I want to be free, free to find where I belong 
Free to find my way 
I know at times I act a little crazy 
And I've made mistakes along the way 

But I can see the silver lining 
It's about to bring the change I have been waiting for 
Hey, Hey 
I want to be free, free to find where I belong 

Free to find my way 
I want to be free 
I won't fight this feeling 
It's leading me so far away 

Believe in me my baby 
`Cause everything's gonna be okay 
Well I don't know where I'm going 
And I don't know where I might be 

But I can feel these times are changing 
And that's alright by me 
`Cause I'm free, free to find where I belong 
Free to find my way 

I want to be free
