Where did we go wrong?
Where did we lose our faith?
My brother is in need
But can he depend on me
Do you think if one of you tried
Maybe you could find
A better friend than any other?
If you gave more than you took
Life could be so good
Come on and try
Now's the time

'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
Do what you want to do
 
Are we all strangers?
Does anyone really care? 
Down we're all the same
Trying to hide our pain
You think you can never trust another
'Cause they're all out to get ya
We have to live in this world together
If we open up our hearts
Love can finally start
Come on and try
Now's the time

'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
Do what you want to do

'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
Do what you want to do

When you're down and you're feeling bad
Everybody has left you sad
Feels like no one will pull you through
It's your life whatcha gonna do 
Make that change, let's start today
Get outta bed, get on your way
Don't be scared your dream's right there
You want it (you want it), reach for it 

'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life

Do what you want to do

(You're free)
Come on, you've got to live your life now
Come on, you know that I want to do
You've got to live your life and love your brother, yeah

Whatcha gonna do when it's all over for you?
You've got to live your life and think about
