[Verse 1]
She goes to church every Sunday morning
Perfect attendance in school to get ahead
But somehow she's just going through the motions
She never complains but she's full of pain
Cause no one cares

[Chorus]
She was free
Free fallin'
She was free
Free fallin', yeah

[Verse 2]
Now she's not the type of girl
That you'd expect to be walking alone
Far too beautiful and intelligent
Not to have someone to call her own
By circumstance there is no choice
She does just what he says
No reward so she figures what's the use
I'm dying to get away

In the name of the father we pray
Please remove me from this old place

[Chorus]
She was free
Free fallin'
She was free
Free fallin', yeah

[Bridge]
She's living life on her own
Praying for serenity
Stay strong for the family
But she cries each time
She falls so hard
Yet holds on to a little hope
That soon she'll be a shining star

[Chorus]
She was free
Free fallin'
She was free
Free fallin', yeah

She was free
Free fallin'
She was free
Free fallin', yeah

She was free
Free fallin'
She was free
Free fallin', yeah

In the name of the father I pray
Cause I'm wanting to get away
In the name of the father we pray
Free fallin'
