Set Me Free

(album: Under The Table And Above The Sun - 2003)

Set me free
Set me free
I need a little more room to breathe
And the freedom to do what I please
Mama set me free.

Set me free
Set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free.

Drop me off on a mountaintop somewhere
Well, I'll point 'em down and say my prayers
No one understands it
Maybe they don't care
We're only here because it's there.

Set me free
Set me free
I wanna be what I can be
City living ain't livin to me
Mama set me free.

Set me free
Set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free.

Well I'll go where people don't go
Where the iron horses don't roll
High above the sea of grey below
The great mystery and the cold wind blows.

Set me free
Set me free
I need a little more room to breathe
And the freedom to do what I please
Mama set me free.

Set me free
Set me free
Let me see what I can be
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free.

Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free.

Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free.
