[Intro]
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
[Verse]
Disarm the angels an' make them wait
Lead em' down the path to the garden gate
Did no one ever tell you of a simple way
Your destiny lies on a different day
[Chorus]
Hold my breath and pray
(Hold my breath and pray)
Hold my breath and pray
[Verse]
The fires burning, "It's hell" he cried
But all is peaceful on the outside
The shadows fall on a crimson sky
Shallow breathing through an untrained eye
[Chorus]
Hold my breath and pray
(Hold my breath and pray)
Hold my breath and pray
[Bridge]
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to bе a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
[Verse]
Bite thе bullet and fold my cards
The tree of life holds all my secret scars
Ya better believe me, I got time to waste
Your cocaine tongue and your jokers face
[Chorus]
Hold my breath and pray
(Hold my breath and pray)
Hold my breath and pray
[Outro]
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
Who wants to be a free man?
