If I were free what I would do 
I'd run and lock myself away with you 
And turn a ring into a key 
Oh I know that's what I would do 
If I were free 

If I were strong I would be so mild 
I'd be strong enough to love you like a child 
I'd turn a cry into a song 
Oh I know that's what I would do 
If I were strong 

If I were wise then I would see 
What makes you love a foolish man like me 
I'd stand by you just like a tree 
Oh I know that's what I would do 
I would chain myself to you 
I would never leave this room 
If I were free 

A line of birds across the sun 
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run 
But girl this running is not for me 
I would never run again 
If I were free. 

And here's just what I would do 
I would chain myself to you 
I would never leave this room 
If I were free
