Longing for something more
Will I ever be free?
Will I ever be free?
I been waitin’ for that sunshine on my door

Will I ever be free?
Oh Lord, set me free
You know you’ll never be free
When you’re friends with the enemy

Workin’ on a better way
Will I ever be free?
Will I ever be free?
Keeping on even though it’s oh so far away

Will I ever be free?
Oh Lord, set me free
You know you’ll never be free
When you’re friends with the enemy

And them hard times keep comin’ at the worst times
And it’s hard enough just to keep my head afloat
And I pray to God that I make it through December
I’ll be on my way now walking this stretch alone
Said I’ll be on my way, I'm walking this stretch alone

Never more will you see my face
Will I ever be free?
Will I ever be free?
Broken down but I'm holding out for better days

Will I ever be free?
Oh Lord, set me free
You know you’ll never be free
When you’re friends with the enemy

And them hard times keep comin’ at the worst times
And it’s hard enough just tô keep my head afloat
And I pray to God that I make it through December
I’ll be on my way now walking this stretch alone

And them hard times keep comin’ at the worst time
And it’s hard enough just to keep my head afloat
Said that I pray to God that I make it through December
I’ll be on my way now walking this stretch alone
Said I’ll be on my way I'm walking this stretch alone
