I Will Be Free by Daniel Johnston Lyrics

You walked right beside me
You didn't have a thing to say
But you left your mind behind you
To be resurrected on this great day

Oh yeah...

I'm only here for a short while
I'll have to go when I am through
But if there's anything I can do
Let me know, I'll try the best I can

You sat by your window
You saw me walking by
I saw you in your window
You didn't even wave hi

Oh no...

I've been away from home a long time
I fought the battles throughout history
I've come so far just to tell you
I can see your misery
I walked right beside you
I didn't have a thing to say
If I don't do too good tomorrow
Then please remember yesterday

Oh yeah...

If by chance you say you recognize me
Maybe it was all a crazy dream
It probably wouldn't seem important
If it weren't always in your face

But I know
And I'll go away before you know it
I'll go away before you know it

I will be free
