Songtexte Free Me - Manfred Mann

I see it all before me
My past of restless wander
My days and nights of torment
A world of misery
The bands of retribution
Now laid so carefully
I cannot shed
My fames so easily
My spirits broken
No will to live
My body's all achin'
My hand's are tied
I need my freedom
Not your sympathy

Look you needn't love me
Just set me free
Come on please
Set me free
Set me free
Is there a way out for me
I kneel before you helpless
Is there somebody out there
To take a chance for me
I don't pretend to virtue
I don't ask anything
But if you want to help me
My freedom's everything now

And if you want to help me
Please tell me if you can
What good is retribution
Without helping hand
I need my freedom
Not your sympathy.
