Free (1950)

A popular song from 1950
Words and music by Irving Berlin
Lyrics
Free, the only thing I want on earth
Is to be free
Free, to disagree with those
Who disagree with me
Free, to close my door at night
And never turn the key
Free, to fall asleep and know
I’ll slumber peacefully
Free from bending down on my knees
To be pushed and be shoved
Free to work and play where I please
Free to love and be loved
Free, the only thing I want on earth
Is to be free, free
The only thing worth fighting for
Is to be free
Free, the only thing I want on earth
Is to be free
Free, to disagree with those
Who disagree with me
Free, to close my door at night
And never turn the key
Free, to fall asleep and know
I’ll slumber peacefully
Free from bending down on my knees
To be pushed and be shoved
Free to work and play where I please
Free to love and be loved
Free, the only thing worth fighting for
Is to be free, free
Free, a different world you’d see
If it were left to me
Everybody would be free, free

It may or may not be worth noting that this is also known as "Snow", naturally with a different set of lyrics.

Those are some long notes to hold onto. Well done, sir! 🙂

Thank you.
It's good to see this song get its own video instead of just being grouped with "Snow".
While the experience of someone giving it voice was pleasant, it's nice to find the songs individually when one searches for them individually.
