If I Were Free Lyrics
If I were free
I would run into battles with flowers and hugs
And bow at the boots of our well-oiled thugs
Oh, if I were free
If it were me
I would yell out "I love you!" to all I passed
I would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask
Oh, if I were free I'd be the 'U' that crossed the 'i' to simply 'b'
Minding our reflections at the bottom of the sea
What did you see?
I saw that you and I forever have been free
The light became too heavy and I fell into a dream
What did you dream?
I dreamed a wind that would sweep
Every castle made of sand
Out across the old ancient holy land
Oh, if this were free
If this were free
We'd be free of the terror of the graves
And fear masquerading as the brave
Oh, if this were free
I woke upon a pig of red, white and blue
The circus got too heavy so we fell into the zoo
What did you feel?
I felt the fear that every queer does in his head
First to starting over, I made sure I was dead
What did you dream?
Swimming with ancients, laughing, tired of getting lost
We took our left, remember, when we leaned upon the cross
What did you see?
I saw that you and I forever have been free
The light became too heavy and we fell into a dream
I would run into battles with flowers and hugs
And bow at the boots of our well-oiled thugs
Oh, if I were free
I would yell out "I love you!" to all I passed
I would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask
Minding our reflections at the bottom of the sea
What did you see?
The light became too heavy and I fell into a dream
What did you dream?
Every castle made of sand
Out across the old ancient holy land
Oh, if this were free
We'd be free of the terror of the graves
And fear masquerading as the brave
Oh, if this were free
The circus got too heavy so we fell into the zoo
What did you feel?
First to starting over, I made sure I was dead
What did you dream?
We took our left, remember, when we leaned upon the cross
What did you see?
The light became too heavy and we fell into a dream

Not bad. Here's what I get after several listens:
If I were free I would run into battles with flowers and hugs And bow at the boots of our well loyal thugs Yes, if I were free
If it were me I would yell "God I love you" to all our passed I would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask
Yes, if I were free I'd be the 'U' that crossed the 'i' to simply 'b' Minding our reflections at the bottom of the sea What can't you see?
I saw that you and I forever have been free The light became too heavy and I fell into a dream What did you dream?
I dreamed of wind Going sweep, every castle made of sand Out across the old far holy land Oh, if this were free
If this were free We'd be free of the terror of the graves And fear our masquerading as the brave Oh, if this were free
I woke upon a pig of red white and blue The circus got too heavy so we fell into the zoo What did you feel?
I felt the fear that every queer does in his head First thing to starting over, I made sure I was dead What do you dream?
Swimming with ancients, laughing, tired, and getting lost Took all of the member when we laid up on the cross What did you see?
I saw that you and I forever have been free Life became too heavy and we fell into a dream
Solid! Thanks for picking up where I couldn't get it.
