France, precisely Dijon for mustard lovers
Free like the whirlwind
Blowing swiftly round the olive trees,
Free, that I know of,
Backed up by the strength of family,
Free from the duty
To stand straight in the long perfect line,
Freer than the churchman who chased away his god,
Freer than the flag flying on the mountaintop,
Plights born within me between feel and think are now long gone,

Free, having nothing
But the thought that I have everything,
And I’m free like the lover
That abandons himself to the other's arms,
Freer than the dewdrops on the countryside,
Freer than the man who just recognized he’d lied,
Free like the first time a man ran not to run from anyone,

Free like the nation
Freeing itself from the tyranny,
I’m from a place where fighting for the sake of liberty’s at heart,
Freer than the rooftops crushed under the sun,
Freer than the void where they say life has begun,

I'm free like the gospel
That echoes beyond eternity,
I'm free, freed for ever,
From the fear of death that troubles us,
I’m free, if just in my head
For my mind’s an untiring wanderer,
I'm free when I’m walking
To watch universe's first sunrise,
I'm free when I come home
Finding freedom in my children's eyes.
