Hold on to me Don't let me go Who cares what they see? Who cares what they know? Your first name is Free Last name is Dom We choose to believe In where we're from Man's red flower It's in every living thing Mind, use your power Spirit, use your wings Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Hold on to me Don't let me go Cheetahs need to eat Run, antelope Your first name is King Last name is Dom 'Cause you still believe In everyone When a baby first breathes When night sees sunrise When the whale hunts in the sea When man recognizes Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Breathe in We are from heat The electric one Does it shock you to see He left us the sun? Atoms in the air Organisms in the sea The son and, yes, man Are made of the same things Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom
