A Singer Must Be Free
For a song to be beautiful,
A singer must be free
For a song to be beautiful,
A singer must be free
Free to look all around her
To learn from every source
Free to fail or be foolish,
Even that; of course
Can't you see? Can't you see?
That for a song to be beautiful,
A singer must be free?
For a child to become a man,
The whole world, he must see
For a flower to be nourish,
It must welcome every bee
And I must be free to fly,
Make my own mistakes,
That is what it takes.
Before she dies,
A nightingale must sing in every key
Yet for a song to be beautiful,
A singer must be free
For a song to be beautiful,
A singer must be...
A singer must be free
