Jamie Starr & The Starr ★ Company

Don't sleep, 'til sunrise, listen to the falling rain
Don't worry, 'bout tomorrow, don't worry 'bout your pain
Don't cry, unless you're happy, don't smile unless you're blue
Never let that lonely monster take control of you

Be glad that you are free, free to change your mind
Free to go 'most anywhere, anytime
Glad that you are free, there's many a man who's not
Be glad for what you had baby, what you've got
Be glad for what you've got

I know my heart is beating, my drummer tells me so
If you take your life for granted, your beating heart will go
So don't sleep until you're guilty, 'cause sinners all are we
There's others doing far worse than us, so be glad that you are free

Be glad that you are free, free to change your mind
Free to go 'most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that you are free there's many a man who's not
Be glad for what you had baby, what you've got
Be glad for what you've got

Soldiers are a marching, writing brand new laws
Will we all fight together, for the most important cause
Will we all fight, for the right to be free

Be glad that you are free, free to change your mind
Free to go 'most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that you are free there's many a man who's not
Be glad for what you had baby, what you've got
Be glad for what you've got

Be glad that you are free, free to change your mind
Free to go 'most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that you are free there's many a man who's not
Be glad for what you had baby, what you've got

Initial tracking for Free took place on 25 April, 1982 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA, (five days after D.M.S.R., the day before How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore). -PrinceVault

Free.. what a great song sounds a bit like Purple Rain (the song), same atmosphere in the song (in the music), imo..

I just love the whole of the 1999 album, yes I love every single note, wow what a classic.

I love this song! I was shocked to learn that so many orgers don't like it
