I've been down and out wondering what it all about So many pressures and the burden seemed too much for me to bear I tried to fight it, but there were shackles on my hands Tried to deny it, 'til oppression took command Turned to the Savior and He opened up my eyes It caught me by surprise, told me somethin' that was no lie Chorus: It's a good time, a good time to be free It's a good time, time to get free inside It's a good time, a good time to believe It's a good time, time to get free inside Now you're down and out wondering what your life's about Try to laugh your fears away, so you party everyday What you are feeling, there ain't nothing new to find What you don't know is, your life is on the line Time to discover, there's so much more to this than just the way you live I know someone with freedom to give (Chorus) So let your spirit hear, and put your mind behind There's a freedom that only in Him you'll find If you heed the call you will have all you need 'Cause who the Son sets free you know is free, free indeed (Chorus) What do you want to do with your life Its up to you, you've got to decide There's freedom here if you want it, just make up your mind It is a good time (Chorus) (bridge) (Chorus out)
