What i've felt for so long...thanks for shinning light on the subject...so hard...such a struggle...mekin me cry! already free ma!!! flying high :D way past survival...I'M LIVIN :D
i remember when she went to Belize to perform was the first time i saw her. she is so beautiful as well as her voice and love her natural beauty. Etana is a true female artist. love her as an artist. nuff respect.. jah bless
This song has such a positive message, at times it may be a difficult but you just have to have faith, rise up cos good times are ahead ..... Nuff love Etana
Tahir I know that this song is about all you ever wanted in your life: freedom I am sorry you never have found it in your life we miss you I hope you found your freedom right now
me love this song!! Freedom 4 ALL! me know - better will com cause JAH bless this wonderful earth! So we all have to give thanks and praise to the most high - KING HAILE SELASSIE I
Etana we love your music and hope to see you soon again in switzerland
every time mi feel stress an depressed mi just listen dah song ya and mi know seh mi gonna be free mi love da song ya it just up lifting makes one reflect on their life
im 15 and im kind but ppl dont appreciate me and im tired of living as a slave...every morning i thank the lord for living and i also say the prayer that the little girl said in the starting.
lyrics: Everyday i rise on a prayer thts all i got 2 take me thru i kno one day i must n i will (oh oh) free myself frm everythng tht holds me captive Chorus: gnna b free like a bird in the sky gnna b free gnna fly so high gnna b free gnna free my mind gnna b free gnna fly so high
THIS SONG GAVE ME CHILLS AND HAD ME BURST INTO TEARS THE 1ST TIME I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO. IT FELT LIKE SHE WAS SINGING MY THOUGHTS. HER VOICE JUST MAKES THE SONG EVEN MORE AMAZING! GOD BLESS HER!
@robintjes not sure if anyone explained but beginning is her running away and praying for a better place, he is beating her probably abuse as well. the burning with the spoon, shes doing meth(drugs) burning the thing to melt to inject herself with. she goes to the street cause she has no other means of getting money and probably did not finish school, something which is sadly been a real problem with some women growing up and cause of situation they end up doing all these things.
@brken Also, for anyone who doesn't know, this is a 'tribute' or another version of scenes from the movie "Forrest Gump" where the lead female character in it, Jenny, is someone who goes through abuse as a child, stumbled in life as an adult, and went full circle when she came back to Forrest.
notice i say she is a BEAUTIFUL woman. not hot not sexy but BEAUTIFUL. she has a quality that is not defined by her looks, money, fame or music. but rather it is expressed through them. she is truly one of the elite few in the world. she is truly BEAUTIFUL
Now this is what music should be about. Straight from the soul. Straight from the heart. No gimmicks to sell her soul to the devil (booty and coochie popping).
I just feel free in listening to the lyrics and beautiful music to this song.
Etana. You are a beautiful, natural spirited sista. Do not sell your soul to the industry. Remain you and your legacy will always be.... FREE.
Tears, tears, tears...this song got me crying every time I hear it...one thing that I know is that I must survive....wow...thank you Strong One...thank you
Etana is wonderfull. Super voice with power and simplicity as well. Love her

@robintjes
Its about young girls/women turning to drugs, prostitution, and suicide when brought up in abusive situations
drugs are in the spoon, its about not giving up, its about surviving
not all girls/women take this path but it happens too often
its about moving on

@robintjes not sure if anyone explained but beginning is her running away and praying for a better place, he is beating her probably abuse as well. the burning with the spoon, shes doing meth(drugs) burning the thing to melt to inject herself with. she goes to the street cause she has no other means of getting money and probably did not finish school, something which is sadly been a real problem with some women growing up and cause of situation they end up doing all these things.
