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

 

 If you're free you'll never see the walls

 If your head is clear you'll never free fall

 If you're right you'll never fear the wrong

 If your 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

 heard voices in his head

 No one knows what they say

 Now his mother's dead

 

 If you're free you'll never see the walls

 If your head is clear you'll never free fall

 If you're right you'll never fear the wrong

 If your head is high you'll never fear at all

 

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 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!

 

 If you're free you'll never see the walls

 If your head is clear you'll never free fall

 If you're right you'll never fear the wrong

 If your head is high you'll never fear!

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-da-ta-da

 ta-dn'-da-ta-da, ta-dn'-dah-du-du-dum
