lyrics

V1:
I got in my car
And rolled my windows down
And sang a song
I needed to feel the sound

It’s been along week
With changes I didn’t see
But I can’t be
Melancholy

Cause joy is natural
It’s natural to me
So I release
All despondency

Into the breeze
Into the melody
Return to peace
Ride into Freedom

Chorus:
Don’s stop!
Don’t stop, don’t stop no
You must grow
Go within
Cause you must grow

V2:
The whole seems lost
(Don’t be afraid)
But I feel helpless
(It’ll be ok)
Too many hurt
(Don’t you run away no)
Too many being selfish
(Don’t you be selfish)
Cause deep down in my heart I know
(Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it)
That I can do more
(Do it, do it, do it, do it)
To remind us all
(Don’t you forget)
That we were born for Freedom
(Freedom)

Chorus:
Don’s stop!
Don’t stop, don’t stop no
You must grow
Go within
Cause you must grow
You must grow!

Outro:
Sing
Dance
Cry
Laugh
Do
Be
You
