Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinReleased as a uk single in february, 1975I used to be a rolling stoneYou know if the cause was rightId leave to find the answer on the roadI used to be a heart beating for someoneBut the times have changedThe less I say the more my work gets done`cause I live and breathe this philadelphia freedomFrom the day that I was born Ive waved the flagPhiladelphia freedom took me knee-high to a manYeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never hadOh philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love youShine a light through the eyes of the ones left behindShine a light shine a lightShine a light wont you shine a lightPhiladelphia freedom I love you, yes I doIf you choose to you can live your life aloneSome people choose the citySome others choose the good old family homeI like living easy without family tiesTill the whippoorwill of freedom zapped meRight between the eyes
