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 beatin' 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, I love ya Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine a light, shine the light Shine the light, won't you shine the light? Philadelphia freedom, I love ya Yes, I do If you choose to you can live your life alone Some people choose the city (some people choose the city) Some others choose the good old family home (Some others choose the good old family home) I like living easy without family ties ('cause it's easy) 'Til the whip or will 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, mmh-mmh Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had Oh, Philadelphia freedom Shine on me, I love ya Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine a light, shine the light Shine the light, won't you shine the light? Philadelphia freedom, I love ya Yes, I do Oh, Philadelphia freedom Shine on me, I love ya Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind, mmh Shine a light, shine the light Shine the light, won't you shine the light? Philadelphia freedom, I love ya You know, I love you, yeah 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) oh (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) oh, oh (freedom) Don't you know that I love you?
