I used to be a soul in stone, you know.

I knew my cause was right.

Deceived, I’d "found" the answer to the code.


I used to be a hard beatin’ wholesome one

But the times have changed.

The lesson saved, the more my work has done.


`Cause I live and breathe now filled with God's holy freedom!

On the day I was reborn, I waved the flag!

Filled with holy freedom took me knee-high to a man, Yeah.

Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had.


Oh, filled with God's holy freedom shine on me, I love you

Shine a light through the eyes of the world left behind.

Shine a light. shine a light.

Shine a light won't you shine a light.

Filled with God's holy freedom, I love you, yes I do!


If you choose to you can live your life alone

Some people choose the sinning (the sinning)

Some others choose the good old family home. (echo)

I liked living pleasy with those family ties (livin' pleasy)

Till the whip (poor will) of freedom zapped me

Right between the eyes!


`Cause I live and breathe now filled with God's holy freedom!

On the day I was reborn, I waved the flag!

Filled with holy freedom took me knee-high to a man, Yeah.

Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had.


Oh, filled with God's holy freedom shine on me, I love you.

Shine a light through the eyes of the world left behind.

Shine a light. Shine a light.

Shine a light won't you shine a light.

Filled with God's holy freedom, I love you, yes I do! (Chorus: 2X

2nd time to bridge)


Bridge:

Don’t ya know I love you. Don’t ya know I love you. Yeah.

Don’t ya know I love you. yes I do!

Filled with God's holy freedom I love you, yes I do!

Filled with God's holy freedom (ya’ know that) I love you, yes I do!

Filled with God's holy freedom (don’t ya’ know that) I love you, yes I do!
