I am free today because cause all the pain is GONE

And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We’re still the kids we used to be
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We’re still the kids we used to be
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free

I feel tired to make you love me (yeah)
But everything I try just takes you further from me (oh)
Once again, I am child I let go of
Everything that I know (oh), everything that I know

And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We’re still the kids we used to be
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
(Ha, ha)

I been crying lately

Cause I am free

I thought it was you and me

So I grieve

I been hurting lately

So I grieve

What will never be

Cause I am free

I thought I had to die

To fulfill your need

But I choose life

I choose me

I feel kinda free.

I don’t need you

Cause GOD chose me

Christ died for me

So I can be free

I won’t serve you

Not going to help you

Never excusing you

You are the fraud

Here’s uni law

I am the star

Flying high

Above your lies

Look into my eyessss

I am totally free.

Fast Car

Song by Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

See, my old man’s got a problem
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for working
His body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
So I quit school and that’s what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me’d find it
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
