I’ve never been to east Berlin
And i’ve never seen the statue of liberty
I can stay right here in my home
And know i’m free
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
To be free And it lives in me
I have crooked teeth and cavities
That’s just a sign of where I’m from
No fancy things just sweet love
The purest love of my family
That’s all I need
To be free and it lives in me
I have certain things
But the powers that be
Well they take and take
They want everything
Making us believe in their free
While they steal our sanity
Buy I have certain things
That they’ll never have
And they’ll never see
I got my mind, I got my brain,
And my lovin’ heart, well my lovin’ heart
Will always remain
Oh that’s all I need
To be free
And it lives in me
Ohohoh that’s all we need
And here’s your truth
That same freedom
Lives in you too
