Gone are the lovers That died of a broken heart And gone are the others That lost right from the start But I'm free, Lord, I'm free And I'm better off than they For I'm off to taste the love That's passed my way
There's a church on the corner His House, or so they say Lord, they tie them every Sunday Givin' tin for the sins next day You good people say that I'm a twisted man And that I don't know right from wrong But I know my God And I know my Father's call
How can you let your problems Keep you down under When you know the answer Right from the start? Take a look around in any direction It follows from your heart
Gone is the sadness Lyin' in a broken heart And gone is the madness That lines itself in part But I'm free, Lord, I'm free And I know myself at last And it's yours to learn Before the future's passed
How can you let your problems Keep you down under When you know the answer Right from the start? Take one look around The answer's 'no wonder,' 'Cause it follows from your heart
Gone is the sadness That lies in a broken heart And gone is the madness That lines itself in part Well, I'm satisfied in lovin', Lord I know myself at last And it's yours to learn Before the future's passed
