"Free To Be" lyrics

I saw a sign sprayed on the wall
Said free to be, free to be
It hit me like the start of a morning
These quiet chains around my limbs
Holding the good girl that's there within
Who smiles at the sound of a warning

What if the lights don't work?
What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?
What if the truth might hurt?
What if I just pretend and cover my heart
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?

I saw a life ahead of me
Where I was swallowed by the productivity
But cowered at the flesh of my body
They say that love is friends with pain
But if I shut them off what the hell do I gain?
Maybe feeling both is part of the story

What if the lights don't work?
What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?
What if the truth might hurt?
What if I just pretend and cover my heart?

I hope the colour of a morning
Will paint my sadness better
I don't cry or try to pry or make the time to find the pleasure
I don't wanna dig the dirt
I don't wanna feel the hurt
But is that being free?
Is that being free?

What if the lights don't work?
What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?
What if the truth might hurt?
What if I just pretend and cover my heart
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
Free to be, free to be
