There are things I've done I wish I could undo I'd take back all the pain I put the ones who love me through And I'd make some better choices I'd take some different roads I'd hold on to what mattered I would never let it go Life is 20 20 hindsight Might take a lifetime just to get some insight Might not always get it right But you get where you need to be All the mistakes I made, I'm glad I made them All the wrong turns I took, I had to take them Can't look back with regret, 'cause the view is never clear That's what it took to get here There are things I said I wish I could unsay I'd erase all the hurt From those I have hurt along the way And I'd make the right decisions And change some I made before And I'd love a little deeper And I would give a little more Sometimes you get second chances When they come you gotta go and grab them Might not be the way you planned it But you get where you need to be All the mistakes I made, I'm glad I made them All the wrong turns I took, I had to take them Can't look back with regret, because the view is never clear That's what it took to get here And you can't go back and change anything You can't make what happened happen differently But you can get what you need Get where you need to be All the mistakes I made, I'm glad I made them All the wrong turns I took, I had to take them Can't look back with regret, because the view is never clear That's what it took to get here

You can reach me by railway You can reach me by trailway You can reach me on an airplane You can reach me with your mind You can reach me by caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can You can reach me by Sailboat Climb atree and swing rope to rope Take a sled and slide down a slope Into These arms of mine You can jump on a speedy colt Cross the border in a blaze of hope I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over But if I had my way Surely you would be closer I need you closer There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over But if I had my way Surely you would be closer I need you closer You can windsurf into my life Take me up on a carpet ride You can make it in a big balloon But you better make it soon. You can reach me by caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can

What a strange night And yet it feels right How was I to know? She would show me Who I could really be I can't keep holdin' on I've gotta let it go Was that freedom freedom When we were dancing' on the floor I felt freedom, sweet freedom Like I've never felt before And I know that I need more Meeting big wheels Makin' big deals It's all I've ever known In the board room With a silver spoon I've got everything I need But somehow I'm still alone Give me freedom, freedom It can all be rearranged I want freedom, freedom And I know it might sound strange I believe that I can change And when I look into the future I can see another me, and I'm free I've got an unfamiliar feelin' now And it's flowin' over me Should I come clean? What I really mean is I think I need to make things right I took some wrong turns But I can still learn If I try a new direction I have a feelin' I just might Find some freedom, freedom If I could do it all again I want freedom, freedom And I know it might sound strange Give me freedom, freedom It can all be rearranged I believe that I can change
