LYRICS

Chorus
We are free to be
Any-thing
Overcome these days
To create our dreams

Mason
If you want things to be like the old times
Let it out if its eating you inside
You messed up and now you’re regretting it
Ill try harder to communicate
I can say sorry a million times
But I wanna prove I can change my life
When i’m thinking they hate me
Thats just me overthinking

Nykeesha
In my zone alone in my room
You can find comfort inside you
Sometimes I wish you were here
When your around I have no tears
And I’m learning from your mistakes
I’m still trying everyday
Role models make me brave
They inspire me so much ways

Chorus
We are free to be
Any-thing
Overcome these days
To create our dreams

Deanna
I would like to learn more
People judge me
I move forward still
Memories of being outside
So care free, open minded, real
Proving, Proving
Energy I cannot lose it, Yeah
All of the these problems
Im moving through it, Yeah

Terese
Community can be violent no reason
I wish we could have a good time without drinking
I miss how you were before
We Don't have to hurt no more

Starla
Lack off opportunity
To move away and not feel lonely
But learn new things
Nostalgic.
What do you miss about the past.
Everything seems more brighter and colorful
Express things I dont get to let out day to day
Because if I dont I burst like a grenade
Echo: (Because if I dont I burst like a grenade)

Chorus x2
We are free to be
Any-thing
Overcome these days
To create our dreams
We are free to be
Any-thing
Overcome these days
To create our dreams
