Freedom by Jon Batiste

Inspirational words

Words to encourage & challenge us to be brave.
Words to support us when we might question.
Words to enlighten us when we forget.
Words to give us permission to be proud of ourselves.
Heady mix of words & sound & music
breathe love into our very being.

​How might you let go with so much freedom?
What is it like for someone to speak your language?
What memories do songs take you back to?
Taking freedom as your right how does that feel??
If you indulged in a ‘little more prancing
the result would be?

​Thank you to

When I move my body just like this
I don’t know why
But I feel like freedom
I hear a song that takes me back
I let go with so much freedom
Free to live (How I wanna live)
I’m gon’ get (What I’m gonna get)
‘Cause it’s my freedom

I love how you talk
You speaking my language
The way that you walk
You can’t contain it
Is it the shoes
Jumped up, kangaroo
We’re overdue for a little more prancing

When I move my body just like this
I don’t know why
But I feel like freedom
I hear a song that takes me back I let go
With so much freedom
Free to live (How I wanna live)
I’m gon’ get (What I’m gonna get)
‘Cause it’s my freedom

The reason we get down,
is to get back up
If someone’s around,
go on let them look
You can’t stand still
This ain’t no drill
More than cheap thrills
Feels like money, money,
Now it’s your time
It’s your right You can shine
It’s alright if you do I do too

‘Cause when I look up to the stars I know exactly who we are ’cause then I see you shine
Free to be! Everybody come on. Freedom!
I’m stuck to the dance floor
With the whole tape
Let me see you wobble
Let me see you shake
Give you just what you ask for
Givin’ you the whole shake

‘Cause when I look up to the stars I know exactly who we are ’cause then I see you shine
Free to be! Everybody come on. Freedom!
I’m stuck to the dance floor
With the whole tape
Let me see you wobble
Let me see you shake
Give you just what you ask for
Givin’ you the whole shake
