Gone are the lovers

That died of a broken heart

And all of the others

That lost right from the start

But I'm free, Lord I'm free

And I'm better off than them

I'm off to taste the love

That's passed my way again

There's a church on the corner

His house was so they say

Lord, they tell them every Sunday

Giving tin for there sins

The next day

You good people saying

I'm a twisted man

That I don't know right from wrong

But I know my life

And I know my Father's home

How can you let

Your problems keep

You down longer

When you know the answer

Right from the start

Take a look around

In any direction

It follows from the heart

Gone is the sadness

Lying in a broken heart

And gone is the madness

That binds itself in hard

But I'm free, Lord I'm free

And I know myself at last

And it's yours to learn

Before the future's past

How can you let

Your problems keep

You down longer

When you know the answer

Right from the start

Take one good look around you

The answers no wonder

It follows from your heart

Gone is the sadness

That lies in a broken heart

And gone is the madness

that binds itself in hard

Well I'm satisfied and loving, Lord

I know myself at last

And it's yours to learn

Before the future's past
