How good it would be to be as we want
And not as others see us
What it would be if we were free?
Not to do what other tell us

Now we can’t walk the streets
Without the eye upon us
So how can you live free?
When they are spying on us

When we make mistakes
The law comes down on us
By laws made by local folk
And world laws made to confuse us

What it would be to be free
From the laws set to guide us
And so to you I look dear god
What do you have to offer?

I am left confused which one to choose
As you are so many
Just who’s right and who is wrong
This I beg to differ
So I leave it up to you dear god
Which one and whoever

What it would be to be free
And not as others tell us
If I were free from laws and gods
Then this world would be for me

Each person could make their choice
Without feeling the eyes on us
And the law is down upon us

And so to you my dear friend
What do they do for us?
I don’t know what they want from us
But the eyes are upon us
