I Wanna Be Free Lyrics

[Verse]
I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
Spend too much time being something that I ain't
I'm sick and tired of being half right
Chasing after a past lie
Just another face in the crowd
It's time to start living out loud

[Chorus]
I wanna be free, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah

[Verse]
I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
Spend too much time being something that I ain't
I'm sick and tired of being half right
Chasing after a past lie
Just another face in the crowd
It's time to start living out loud

[Chorus]
I wanna be free, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah

[Bridge]
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
[Verse]
I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
Spend too much time being something that I ain't
I'm sick and tired of being half right
Chasing after a past lie
Just another face in the crowd
It's time to start living out loud

[Chorus]
I wanna be free, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah

[Verse]
I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
Spend too much time being something that I ain't
I'm sick and tired of being half right
Chasing after a past lie
Just another face in the crowd
It's time to start living out loud

[Chorus]
I wanna be free, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah

[Bridge]
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
