I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
Momma loves to work, Daddy loves to play
Sometimes Daddy gotta go far away
I'm too young to go quiet in the night
Try to put me to sleep, I'm gonna give you a fight
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
Wake you up a 5 am, before the sunrise I'll be your friend
And you know I don't want for you to take too long
Just come running when you hear my song
'Cause I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna miss you now, Mister far away
Paint a picture of you and send it off today
And when you come home you could bring it back to me
Color in the lines define this whole world for me
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
Practice makes perfect, and that I agree
But don't be surprised that I want to be free
I know what I know and that's all that I know
But I've been told you reap what you sow
So I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
Momma's telling me what to eat today
But I don't feel like I'm gonna go that way
What I need is something sweet and nice
What I need is a treat, alright
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
I'm gonna cry cry cry
Set the children free
Set the children free
Set the children free
Set the children free
(Free of their hearts, free of theirs minds)
Set the children free
(Free of their dreams, their imagination)
Set the children free
Set the children free
Set the children free
Set the children free
