Some people choose the city
Philadelphia freedom
Oh, Philadelphia freedom shine on me and I love you
You know I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia freedom I love, you know I love
Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine the light, shine the light, shine the light won't you shine the light
I like living easy without family ties
Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man
If you choose to you can live your life alone
I love you, yes I do
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Don't you know that I love you, yes I do
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Yeah, gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man
Some others choose the good old family home
You know that I love you, yes I do
Shine the light, shine the light, shine the light, won't you shine the light?
Shine the light, shine the light, shine the light, won't you shine the light?
Oh, Philadelphia freedom shine on me and I love you
Philadelphia freedom
The less I say the more my work gets done
Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me right between the eyes
Philadelphia freedom
Philadelphia freedom
Don't you know that I love you, yes I do
I used to be a heart beating for someone but the times have changed
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do
Philadelphia freedom
Oh, Philadelphia freedom shine on me and I love you
Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do
