I keep walking down the same city streets The same city lines, to the same lonely beat People say hello but I don't know what to say I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way I wanna hide form all these strangers I wanna run home to you All I need is your compassion Then we can be free, yes I wanna be free, yes I wanna be free I wanna be free Oh the way I'm shut out by your silence It's the loudest thing I've ever known You leave me, leave me hanging 'til I feel useless with my hope Oh it's lonely in the city It can be lonely next to you Just have the courage to open up to yourself Then we can be free, yes I wanna be free I wanna be free I wanna be free
