Philadelphia Freedom
Music by
Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
I used to be a rolling stone,
you know
If the 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
Chorus
'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
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Philadelphia
freedom, shine on me, I love you
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones
left behind
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, won't you shine a
light
Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do
If you choose to you
can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
Some others choose
the good old family home
I like living easy without family ties
Till the
whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes
Chorus
Philadelphia
freedom, shine on me, I love you
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones
left behind
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, won't you shine a
light
Philadelphia freedom I love you
You know I love you
You know
I love you
Yes I do
Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia freedom don't you know that I love you, yes I do
(Repeat
until fade)
