Lyrics

Wild and free is the way I wanna be Making a new day Leading in a new way Respect for those people Power to the people Setting down the old crew Bringing in the brand new Wild and free with peace finally Wild and free is the way I want my life Natures wait for me Without pain in its stride Fighting what is wrong Across the world as well as home But respect for everybody's right Would be really out of sight Our great obligations Would not be bad situation If the young what we listen to For what they really know is true Respect for those people Power to the people The old people who worry 'bout me 'Cause I am so wild and free Wild and free is the way I wanna be Making a new day Leading in a new way Respect for those people Power to the people
