Freedom

It’s only when the city sleeps

That we can be ourselves

It’s only when the city sleeps

That we can be reckless

And free

When the city sleeps,

There is no one left to stop us

When the city sleeps,

There is no one to control us

It’s only when the city sleeps

That I can fill my life

With love

And joy

And finally be free from worry

It’s only when the city sleeps

And I am nothing

But a shadow in the dark

That I remember who I am

I was always meant to be free

I was always meant to run

I’ve never wanted to be tied down

And when the city sleeps,

Who I pretend to be during the day

Suddenly melts away
