I met a man locked away
for things he hadn't done
innocence on a ball and chain
he'll never feel the sun
again on his face or roses
in his hands but when he smiled
at me i could understand
(chorus)
if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never free fall
if you're right you'll never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you'll never fear at all
There was a daughter of a man
who took his life too young
she swore she'd never do the same
then did just what he'd done
and a boy who's gone insane
voices in his head
no one knows what they say
now his mothers dead
(chorus)
if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never free fall
if you're right you'll never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you'll never fear at all
There was a man who had a face
that looked a lot like me
i saw him in the mirror and
i fought him in the street
and when he turned away
i shot him in the head
then i came to realize
i had killed myself
(chorus)
if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you'll never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you'll never fear at all
