I used to be a rolling stone   You know if the 'cause was right   I'd leave to find the answer on the road   I used to be a heart beating for someone      But the times have changed   The less I say the more my work gets done   'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom   From the day that I was born I've waved the flag      Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man   Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had   Oh Philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you   Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind      Shine a light shine a light   Shine a light won't you shine a light   Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do   If you choose to you can live your life alone      Some people choose the city   Some others choose the good old family home   I like living easy without family ties   Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me   Right between the eyes
