lyrics

Take a rest. If you're tired, then confess, cause we need you at your best.
I'm wondering what makes me a human being.
Is it the way I'm always breathing, or this heart that always beating?
No, that's not what I'm believing.

I'm human because I'm free.
I am what I want to be.
And if you won't let me be me.
Well, then I'm leaving the country. (x2)
I'll do what I think is best.
No matter the consequence.
If right here, you control me,
well then, I'm leaving the country. (x2)

Take me away. There's always somewhere better to be;
All I need is to find that place!
All the wars, all the corruption, all the people we obey.
I know somewhere there can be a better life for you and me.

I'm human because I'm free.
I am what I want to be.
And if you won't let me be me.
Well, then I'm leaving the country. (x2)
I'll do what I think is best.
No matter the consequence.
If right here, you control me,
well then, I'm leaving the country. (x2)

Just because it moves, doesn't make it alive.
Just because it's different, doesn't make it a lie.
You don't have the right to control my life,
and that's why we still fight!

I'm human because I'm free.
I am what I want to be.
And if you won't let me be me.
Well, then I'm leaving the country. (x2)
I'll do what I think is best.
No matter the consequence.
If right here, you control me,
well then, I'm leaving the country. (x2)
