[Verse 1]
Look mama, I'm riding this life with no hands
And I know that it scares you and you don’t understand
I'm out in this world with one last chance
And I just might die a foolish man

[Chorus]
But they gave me hope
They gave me peace of mind
Promised me freedom
Promised me back my life
They gave me hope
They gave me peace of mind
They promised my freedom
They promised my life

[Verse 2]
Look papa, what good is a world that won't change
’Cause nothing prepares you for lifetime of pain
The weight of this world is in my namе
And I just might die a foolish man

[Chorus]
But they gave mе hope
They gave me peace of mind
Promised me freedom
Promised me back my life
They gave me hope
They gave me peace of mind
They promised my freedom
Promised my life
[Bridge]
Freedom
I can't count, I can't count the tears I cried
Freedom
Lonely days and lonely nights
Freedom
Lord if this is all that you got in store
Freedom
Open up, open up Heaven's doors

[Chorus]
They gave me hope
They gave me peace of mind
Promised me freedom
Promised me back my life
They gave me hope
They gave me peace of mind
Promised my freedom
Promised my life

[Outro]
Maybe this world is what'll get better
Maybe one day we fight this together
Oh, freedom
