Check out this video interview with Francesca where she shares the story behind her song “Free to be Me” and then sings it live for the camera. If you haven’t yet heard the song, give it a good listen. The chorus is such a fantastic girl-anthem. My daughters love it! Can’t wait to get the album.
Lyrics to Free to be Me by Francesca Battistelli
At twenty years of age
I’m still looking for a dream
A war is already waged for my destiny
But You’ve already won the battle
And You’ve got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see, ’cause…
I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I’m so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I’m free to be me
When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life will turn out right
And I’ll make it here somehow
But things don’t always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt, ’cause…
And you’re free to be you
Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I’ve got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and you tell me
That I’ve got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe, even though…
And you’re free to be you

this is a fantastic girl anthem when i first heard it i fell in love with this song! <3 it soooooo much. This song actually is helping me thru my boyfriend troubles so.. the part where it goes "When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt"
:) idk what will happen to us but at least this song will make me feel better, Francesca u rock!
