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 freeSet me free
Set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeDrop 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 livin' ain't livin to me
Mama set me freeSet me free
Set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeWell 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 freeSet me free
Set me free
Let me see what I can be
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeHave mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeHave mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free
