I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am those words of wisdom, let it be Nobodys put the blues inside of me

Yeah, I'm I'm
I'm free, kickin' out of prison, I am free those words of wisdom, let it be Nobody's gonna put the blues of me, Ohh yeah
I'm I'm I'm Yeah, I'm
Time by in photographs And paper and songs I stand in ruby slippers Three taps takes me
Yeah, I'm Yeah, I'm I'm Ohh I'm
