"I Wanna Be Free" is a song performed by Mr. Robinson in "The Debt."
Lyrics
Gaylord: [Spoken] Up till now, my life's been good.
Treated me well, I can't complain.
Met a woman, raised a kid, and every day just felt the same.
But there's something deep inside of me
That always wanted to be free.
And now I think the time is right
[Singing] to show you what I meeeean...
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna touch the sky with my own two hands
If I sing to the world, it'll set me free
And let me be who I wanna beeeee...
Dance, dance and sing
I'm gonna give it my everything
Then fortune and fame will be at my command
As I whisk you off to a wonderland
I'll hip-hop and jive with my heart and my soul
Do the twist and the bump, do the rock and the roll
I'll tango fandango, manero merengue
I'll fly like a bird if you set me free
Like a skylark on the wing
A rosebud in the spring
Like a gangster and his bling
Like fish bait from a sling
Like a puppet with no string
Like an English feudal king
Like all those kinds of wonderful, wonderful, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings...
I wanna be freeeeeeeeeeeee!
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!
