Lyrics

Through You the blind will (Csus2)see,

through You the mute will (Csus2)sing,

through You the dead will (Csus2)rise,

through You our hearts will (Csus2)praise,

through You the dark ness flees,

through You my heart screams, “I am free!

(Csus2)I am free!”

(Csus2)I am (D)free

to run.

(I am free

to run.) I am (G)free

to dance.

(I am free

to dance.) I am (Bm7)free to live for You.

(I am (Asus)free to live for You.) I am free.

(I am free.) I am free.

(I am free.)

Through You the blind will (Csus2)see,

through You the mute will (Csus2)sing,

through You the dead will (Csus2)rise,

through You our hearts will (Csus2)praise,

through You the dark ness flees,

through You my heart screams, “I am free!

(Csus2)I am free!”

(Csus2)I am (D)free

to run.

(I am free

to run.) I am (G)free

to dance.

(I am free

to dance.) I am (Bm7)free to live for You.

(I am (Asus)free to live for You.) I am free.

(I am free.) I am free.

This page shows “I Am Free” by Jon Egan in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of D at 138 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
