Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics

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 peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia freedom shine on me and 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 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

'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

Oh, Philadelphia freedom shine on me and 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 you, yes I do

Oh, Philadelphia freedom shine on me and 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, you know I love
You know I love you, yes I do

Philadelphia freedom
I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia freedom
You know that I love you, yes I do

Philadelphia freedom
Don't you know that I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia freedom
Don't you know that I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia freedom
Don't you know that I love you, yes I do
