Free Woke up this morning looked around my cell Can't believe I get to leave today Thank the Lord Jesus Christ the most high I started to cry as I prayed I can't wait to walk with my son And see the big smile on his face And make up for every single day That I was gone I said peace to my mans in C block Fam in E block and Pastor James I couldn't believe that the time was coming I would finally be on my way I never thought that I'd leave here breathing But thank God for my faith I took one last look at the yard I took one last look at the guard And said I'm ready to go Oh, I was locked down, hopeless until You looked my way I was doubtful that You would forgive a man like me You are the reason that I can finally say That I'm free I spoke to the guard said, "I'm leaving a new man" Shook his right hand then I headed for the front gate I could see my son jumping for joy I smiled back at the guard and said that's my boy I hugged my son with a knot in my throat Thanked my wife for all the letters she wrote For staying with me through this four and a half For being a mother, for being a dad I said, "Thank you baby for sticking with me through these hard times Sorry baby for every single night I made you cry" She said, "Don't worry I'm just glad your alive Ready to start brand new and push the old to the side" Thank You Lord I couldn't thank You more For everything You've done in my life I praise You Lord, I couldn't repay You Lord For keeping me alive, it's good to be back babe Free Oh, I was locked down, hopeless until You looked my way I was doubtful that You would forgive a man like me You are the reason that I can finally say That I'm free Thank you baby, for sticking with me through these hard times Sorry baby, for every single night I made you cry Free
