Give me some time to be me
Give me the space that I need
Give me a reason to be
Give me some time to be
I've got to open my eyes to see

Give me the air that I breathe
Give me the taste that is sweet
Feeding a space that's in me
Just free me, just free me, just free

Out on a ledge can make it
Out of my depth can face, face it, face it
Livin' this life ain't easy
Living with dreams that free, free me, free me

So give me the words that fall free
Give me the song that I sing
Listening hard to hear me
Give me some time to be
You've got to open your eyes to see

Give me the love that I need
Show me the light that blinds me
Just bring it all closer to me
Just free me, so free me, so free

Out on a ledge can make it
Out of my depth can face, face it, face it
Livin' this life ain't easy
Living with dreams that free, free me, free me, free

I wonder why you're so far away
I wonder why you're so far away
So far

Free... (repeat)

As wide as the ocean in me
As high as the sky above me
As deep as the earth beneath me
It's free, it's free, so free

Out on a ledge can make it
Out of my depth can face, face it, face it
Livin' this life ain't easy
Living with dreams that free, free me, free me, free

As wide as the ocean (free free free free)
As high as the sky (free free free free) 
As deep as the earth (free free free)
As wide as the ocean (free free)
As deep as the earth (free free)
As high as the sky (free free)
