She is glad now she can move
Of her own volition
She can hear a brand new tune
Not the same rendition

When she listens to the Blues
They will make her smile
She was Billie Holiday once
For a long, long while

When the night comes she won't hide
Walking down the street
She looks them right in the eye
Everyone she meets

Now the man can't hold her down
She is liberty
She is strong now in her life
She is finally free
