Many are the roads that are offered

Many are the times that I will stray

Still for all the directions that I've travelled

It is here that my heart will remain

Many colours are the jewels that sparkle

Many pleasures I will hold and embrace

Still for all that this world has to offer

It is here that my heart will remain

So I'll wait for the day

When all my tricks

Fade away

I just want to be free

I just want to be free

There's a full moon

Smiling down on Lucknow

And she is singing her old songs to me

A distant train plays the drum

The crickets sing along

And the dogs are barking down in the street

And I know from this place there is no leaving

Still tomorrow silver wings fly me back home

To a valley in the spring time

I'll be there to see the new green leaves grow

And I'll wait for the day

When all my tricks

Fade away

I just want to be free
