She saw the future dying
  And heard her baby crying
  And wondered why it had to be
  She sat and watched the sunrise
  And felt the tears of compromise
  A young girl learning to be free.
  Her days and nights were so cold
  She longed to share her heart and soul
  With someone willing to believe
  She saw the beauty in a stranger's face
  And felt the warmth of his embrace
  A fairytale that set her free
  Free-she wants to be
  Free-he made her feel
  Free-she's paid the price
  Free-she longs to be
  Free-she's gonna be
  Free-to live her life
  Free-to live her life
  He said he'll stay forever
  They'd make a life together
  He swore it was their destiny
  Now all alone she understands
  Between a woman and a man
  Love is a spirit flying free
  Free-she wants to be
  Free-he made her feel
  Free-she's paid the price
  Free-she longs to be
  Free-she's gonna be
  Free-to live her life
  Free-to live her life
  Free-she wants to be
  Free-he made her feel
  Free-she's paid the price
  Free-she longs to be
  Free-she's gonna be
  Free-to live her life
  Free-to live her life
