I never thought the day would come so soon

But you gotta be free
To walk down the path of uncertainty
You gotta believe yeah
That you're gonna make it yeah
You gotta be free
To take the chances that you need to take
You gotta believe yeah
That you're gonna make it yeah

I thought I saw you
Smilin down at me from a billboard sign
I guess I'm lookin just a little too hard
And I thought I heard you
Singin to me from the broadway stage
And you were a queen there who finally found her star
I can't deny that you're a dreamer
I watched you spread your wings and fly away forever
But when you said goodbye I knew

That you gotta be free
To walk down the path of uncertainty
You gotta believe yeah
That you're gonna make it yeah
You gotta be free
To take the chances that you need to take
You gotta believe yeah
That you're gonna make it yeah

I still remember when I looked into your baby blue eyes
I remember thinking that you can be what you want to be
Thanks for all your help dad
I understand why you're so sad
But there's a world out there for me so I must be on my way

You gotta be free
To walk down the path of uncertainty
You gotta believe yeah
That you're gonna make it

You got to be free [Walk down the path of uncertainty]
And I hope you're still believing [You just got to believe]
That you're gonna make it [That you're gonna make it]
Cause I watched you leavin
And I knew that you just got to be free
Yeah
