Text Xavier Naidoo Translation

Do you think the wind blows, because someone tells it to blow?
Do you think the stars in the sky glow because someone switches them on every night?
Do you think the elements imitate what they saw and not what they want,
if you believe this you will never understand what I mean when I say I want to be free

Chorus:
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
Free as the wind when it blows
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
free as a star that's in the sky
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
I want to be free, just free, just free

Do you think the world would stop turning, if someone decided it would be better for it to stand still,
Do you think that someone, somewhere, some day could live your life for you,
If you think so you will never be able to understand what I mean when I say I want to be free

Chorus:
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
Free as the wind when it blows
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
free as a star that's in the sky
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
I want to be free, just free, just free

Do you think the story of your life is writtendown somewhere in advance?
and somewhere a wise man takes responsibilities for your actions?
Do you think that of all the lifes in this world is more valueable than yours?
If you think so you will never understand what I mean when I say I want be free

Chorus:
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
Free as the wind when it blows
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
free as a star that's in the sky
I want to be free
Let freedom ring
I want to be free, just free, just free
