Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom

I used to be a rolling stone you know

If a cause was right

I'd leave to find the answer on the road

I used to be a heart beating for someone

But the times have changed

The less I say the more my work gets done

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

From the day that I was born I've waved the flag

Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man, yeah

Gave me a peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

Shine the light, through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine the light, shine the light

Shine the light, won't you shine the light

Philadelphia freedom, I love-ve-ve you, yes I do

If you choose to you can live your life alone

Some people choose the city (some people the city)

Some others choose the good old family home (some others choose a good old family home)

I like living easy without family ties (living easy)

Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me

Right between the eyes

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

From the day that I was born I've waved the flag

Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man

Mm, gave me a peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

Shine the light, through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine the light, shine the light

Shine the light, won't you shine the light

Philadelphia freedom, I love-ve-ve you, yes I do

Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

Shine the light, through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine the light, shine the light

Shine the light, won't you shine the light

Philadelphia freedom, I love-ve-ve,

You know I love-ve-ve , you know I love-ve-ve you

Yes I do, Philadelphia freedom

I love-ve-ve you

Yes I do, Philadelphia freedom

You know that I love-ve-ve you

Yes I do, Philadelphia freedom

Don't you know that I love-ve-ve you

Yes I do, Philadelphia freedom

Don't you know that I love-ve-ve you

Yes I do, Philadelphia freedom
