If I were free, what I would do
I'd run and lock myself away with you
And turn a ring, into a key
Oh, I know that's what I'd do,
if I were free
If I were strong, I would be so mild
I would be strong enough to love you like a child
I would turn a cry, into a song
Oh, I know that's what I would do,
if I were strong
If I were wise, then I would see
What makes you love a foolish man like me?
I'd stand by you, just like a tree
Oh, I know that's what I would do,
I would chain myself to you
I would never leave this room, if I were free
A line of birds, across the sun
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run
But girl this running is not for me,
I would never run again if I were free.
And here's just what I'd do,
I would chain myself to you
I would never leave this room, if I was free
