Hi!

I have a problem with the lyrics of To Be Free. I'm almost sure, that this line: "Cause I'm free" is included only once. Elsewhere it's "Cause I mean" or "Cause I'm in" or something like this. What could it be?

Thanks.

Scot

I was about to direct you over to the lyrics section...but it looks like To Be Free isn't there yet (edit - it was, actually, just there wasn't a link...but it's now been updated with the version here)...so here we go, the complete lyrics, as printed on the back of the single:

You find yourself alone, sometimes
Without a home, no protection
You don't know which way to go
You're lost, no direction

(then) Suddenly, out of the blue (the printed lyrics include 'then', but it's not in the song)
Some kind of magic comes to you
You don't know how, you don't know why
But someday, gonna take off, (and) fly (again, this 'and' is written there but isn't actually sung)

(wish, make a wish)

My wish would be...

To be free
To be wild
And to be
Just like a child
And if I get lost
I really don't mind
Cos I'm me
Doing just fine

You're out in the cold, sometimes
As far as you can see, misty
And you want to run, into the sun
The road is lost, sand shifty

(then) Suddenly, out of the blue
Some kind of magic pushes you through
You don't know when, how or why
But someday, gonna take off, (and) fly

And if I had a wish, my wish would be...

To be free
To be wild
And to be
Just like a child
And if I get lost
I really don't mind
Cos I'm me
Doing just fine

(chorus x3)

Just like a child (Single Edit fades out on this line)
I really don't mind
Cos I'm free
Doing just fine



The parts in italics are bits I've added to what's printed on the CD (incidentally, I'm working from the inlay card of a promo copy of the single - I don't know if the production version has the lyrics as well).

I hope this helps answer the question, and maybe we can get these lyrics up in the lyrics section.
