SET YOURSELF FREE  (c) 1993, 2003 Monica E. Gómez, ASCAP



Verse 1:  There’s a child crying in the dark
each lonely tear a question mark.
Does anyone hear? Does anyone hear?

Refrain:  Can I help you, child? What can I do?
I feel so helpless just listening to you.
Set yourself free, learn to set yourself free.

Verse 2:
  There’s a grown man crying in the night.
He stares out the window at the lights.
Does anyone see? Does anyone see?

Refrain:  Can I help you, child? What can I do?
I feel so helpless just looking at you.
Set yourself free, please set yourself free.

Bridge:
  ‘Cause a mother’s love is magic
and a woman’s power can heal
but she’s not here to save you
from going through…from going through what’s real.

Verse 3:  There’s a woman crying in a nest.
All she sees are broken shells, though she did her best.
Does anyone know? Does anyone know?


Refrain:
  Can they help you, child? What can they do?
They feel so helpless just loving you.
Set yourself free. Set yourself free.

Bridge:  ‘Cause a mother’s love is magic
and a woman’s power can heal
but you’re not here to save them
from going through…from going through what’s real.

Verse 4:  There are angels crying in the clouds.
sweet water falls in long blue shrouds
when you set yourself free...set yourself free.
