Lyrics

Bilingual
Nobody owns you, not the ones you love
Not a teacher or a leader, or a god above
Nobody owns you, not the one who pays
Or the mother that has given you her yesterdays
You're as free as an October breeze
And it's time to get up off your knees
Listen to me, please
Nobody owns you
Nobody owns you 'cause they bought your drink
Or because they care so much about the thoughts you think
Nobody owns you, not the ones you fight
Not the one who holds you close and takes you home tonight
You're as free as the wind in the street
And it's time to stand up on your feet
Darling, you're complete
Nobody owns you
Nobody owns you, though they might insist
That you signed a little bargain when you held their wrist
Nobody owns you 'cause they told you so
Not the one who held you down so many years ago
You're as free as the light in the trees
So it's time to get up off your knees
Understand me, please
Nobody owns you
Nobody owns you
Nobody owns you
Nobody owns you
