I'm standing in a field
D6
A field of questions
D6
As far as the eye can see
Em D6
Is this what it means to be free?
Em D6
Or is this what it means to belong to the free?
 
[Interlude]
D6 Em
D6
 
[Bridge]
Em D6
To be free in bad times and good
Em D6
To belong to being derided for things I don't believe
Em D6
And lauded for things I did not do
 
[Interlude]
D6 Em
D6 Em
D6
 
[Chorus]
Em
If this is what it means to be free
D6
Then I'm free
Em D6
And I belong to the free
Em
And the free
D6
They belong to me
 
[Outro]
D6 Em
D6
