Oh, my soul, it will be free
C G Am G F
My soul, it will be free
Spent too long trying to do it on my own,
Had to be lead through the valley
To find my way back home.
It was then that I realized all that I have missed.
My eyes have been opened wide
To what real love is.
When my time comes
When all my days are done
Friend, don't you cry for me
Yeah my body might be broken in the ground
Yeah my soul, it will be free
My soul, it will be free

All the fame and all the gold

You can't take 'em to the grave

In the end, all it is are zeroes in the bank

The love we got, the love we made

I would say, that I'm the richest

Don't you cry...
When my time comes
When all my days are done
Friend, don't you cry for me
Oh my body might be broken in the ground
Though my body might be broken in the ground
Oh my soul, it will be free
My soul, it will be free (3x)
