When I was a younger man   People say don't dream too tall   'Cause if you live your life that way   You set yourself up for big falls      I stay up late in my room at night   Play my heroes on the turntable   Opened me to pure phat groove   Help my soul break down them walls      I thank you, I thank you   For all the music that you've shown to me   I thank you 'cause you set me free   Free to simply just be me      You don't know all the influence   The subtle positives that you had on me   Came about like a renaissance   Like a little happy dance, got into my feet      But in your times the roads you chose   Led you to your hard luck blues   I always feared what it was like   To live inside your big old shoes      I thank you, I thank you   For all the music that you've shown to me   I thank you 'cause you set me free   Free to simply just be me      But do ya love music, say I do   And if ya love music, say thank you   But do ya love music, say I do   And if ya love music, say thank you, thank you, thank you      I thank you, I thank you   For all the music that you've shown to me   I thank you 'cause you set me free   Free to simply just be me      Oh, I thank you, I thank you   For all the music that you've shown to me   I thank you 'cause you set me free   Free to simply just be me      Bass line   Can I get a little keyboard now   Mister guitar man come on, yeah   Alright, it's lovely      I thank you, I thank you   For all the music that you've shown to me   I thank you 'cause you set me free   Free to simply just be me      You know, I thank you, I thank you   For all the music that you've shown to me   I thank you 'cause you set me free   Free to simply just be me      Do ya love music, I do   Do ya love music, I do   Say do ya love music, I do      Do ya love music, I do   Do ya love music, I do   Do ya love music, I do      Say do ya love music, I do, do ya love music   Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free   Set me free, set me free, set me free, yeah   It's lovely, it's lovely, it's lovely, it's lovely      Gimme love to Marvin   You know [Incomprehensible]   Sly Stone, Stevie Wonder   [Incomprehensible], Bob Marley, Bob Marley   Bill Withers, Gill Scott-Heron   Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
