I Wanna Be Free
Daniel O'Donnell · Other Songs - Daniel O'Donnell
The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees everything
is free everything but me
I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger
And throw it just as far as I can slinger cause I want to be free
When my baby left me everything died
But a little bluebird was singin' just outside singin'
twidle-de-dee fly away with me
Well you know I think I'm a gonna live gotta lotta love left in me to give
So I want to be free
I released my heart my soul and my mind and I'm a feelin' fine
I broke the chains the ring of gold before it broke my mind
Well look who's cryin' and it ain't me but I can't
hardly hear and I can't have see
Oh I want to be free
I released my heart my soul
Do I want to be free yeah I want to be free free
I Wanna Be Free
Daniel O'Donnell's 'I Wanna Be Free' stands as a poignant testament to his signature style of emotive, acoustic-driven ballads. Recorded in the early 2000s, the track exemplifies his ability to weave personal narrative with universal themes of longing and spiritual yearning, characteristic of his work alongside Mary Duff. The song reflects a period where O'Donnell frequently explored themes of redemption and hope, often delivered with a raw, unadorned vocal approach that emphasizes the emotional weight of the lyrics. As part of his broader discography from that era, the recording captures the intimate, confessional tone that defined his contributions to contemporary Christian music, resonating deeply with listeners seeking authenticity in their worship and reflection.
