Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics

I used to be a rolling stone
You know if the 'cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more my work gets done

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia Freedom
From the day that I was born,
I've waved the flag
Philadelphia Freedom,
took me knee-high to a man
Yeah, gave me peace of mind,
my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia Freedom shine on me,
I love you
Shine a light,
through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light,
shine a light
Shine a light, won't you shine a light?
Philadelphia Freedom,
I love you, yes I do

If you choose to you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
Some others choose the good old family home

I like living easy without family ties
Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia Freedom
From the day that I was born,
I've waved the flag
Philadelphia Freedom,
took me knee-high to a man
Yeah, gave me peace of mind,
my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia Freedom shine on me,
I love you
Shine a light,
through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, won't you shine a light?
Philadelphia Freedom, I love you, yes I do

Philadelphia Freedom shine on me,
I love you
Shine a light,
through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light,
shine a light
Shine a light,
won't you shine a light?
Philadelphia Freedom,
I love you, yes I do
My Philadelphia Freedom shine on me,
I love you
Shine a light,
through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light,
shine a light
Shine a light,
won't you shine a light?
Philadelphia Freedom, I love
You know I love,
you know I love you, yes I do

Philadelphia Freedom,
I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia Freedom,
don't you know that I love you? Yes I do
Philadelphia Freedom,
don't you know that I love you? Yes I do
Philadelphia Freedom,
don't you know that I love you? Yes I do
