Turnin' molehills into mountains
Makin' big deals out of small ones
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens
This is how it's been
Afraid of coming out of my shell
Too many things I can't do too well
Afraid I'll try real hard, and I'll fail--
This is how it's been
Till the day you pounded on my heart's door
And you shouted joyfully
"You're not a slave anymore!"
"You're free to dance-
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing-even joyful noise is music to me
You're free to love
'Cause I've given you my love
And it's made you free
I have set you free!"
My mind finds hard to believe
That you became humanity and changed the course of history
Because you loved us so
And my heart cannot understand
How you accept me as I am
But you say you've always had a plan
And that's all I need to know
So when I am consumed with what the world will say
Then you're singing to me, as you remove my chains-
Free from worry, free from envy and denial
Free to live, free to give, free to smile
