This song borrows
a line from one of my favorite Christmas specials, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Every year as a kid, I looked
forward to that show, and for many years I never missed it. For the past
several years, I haven’t seen any holiday specials, because we don’t have a
television. I could probably find most of the shows online, but somehow it’s not
the same. When things are too easy and too accessible, somehow they’re not as
special.

What have I been
doing with myself all of these years?
Finding out new
ways of wasting time and making tears
It’s something I’m
not proud of
How could I
possibly be?
But when you start
to round up suspects, don’t be grabbing me!
I’m gonna stay
free, free
Free to love
Ain’t that enough
for me to be?
Free to live
I’m positively
free
What are my plans
in case the plans I have are faulty?
I never was that
good with facts and problem-solving
I have trouble
with directions--using someone else’s steps
But when it’s
time to improvise,
There’s no one
more adept
I’m gonna stay
free, free
Free to love
Ain’t that enough
for me to be?
Free to live
I’m positively
free
Freedom doesn’t
have to be lonely
I don’t want to
be free by myself
Let’s be
independent together
Cause freedom’s
best when shared with someone else
You’re an
individual
I’m not asking
you to change
Just because I
wanna spend my life with you,
Doesn’t mean I
want you in a cage
We’re gonna stay
free, free
Free to love
Ain’t that enough
for me to be?
Free to live
I’m positively
free
