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)
