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 hear beating for somebody
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
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh 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 other choose the good old family home
I like living easy without family ties
Till the whipporwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes
