Yeah he, ho my name is Jimmy beep beereep beeb beeb
Whatever you want to call me
You know like the birds fly in the air
That's how I want to be
Free, free, free
I've been trying all my life to break free
It's like a big bad fight that never ends
You know what I'm saying
First I was a soldier
Then I was a rebel
Then a runaway, and I've been running ever since
But it's like everything is in my way,
Everything, even my head, my body
[sung]
A drop in the sea caused a flood
quenching man's drought
You did it to me, to my thirsty heart
With your tender touch
Nena Nena Nena Tereze
Nena Nena Nena Tereze
[spoken]
Yeah like a drop in the sea, that's how I feel sometimes
Like I'm stuck in the traffic or something
But I wasn't gonna let that be
I made a plan
I worked hard, I had a TV, I had a car, I had a house
I was a man with a job, you know
You know I had all those things
But then I broke down one day
And I lost it all
I came rolling down that mountain
[sung]
A pencil in the hands of almighty love
Where the ink won't dry
Is writing the names of poor men dying
In his angel's arms
Nena Nena Nena Tereze
Nena Nena Nena Tereze
[spoken]
Yeah I lost it all, and like magic I was free
When no one spoke to me
When no one cared for me
That's the day I started singing this song
And this is how it goes:
[sung]
Carry my soul, Carry my soul, Carry my soul, Carry my soul
Carry my soul, Carry my soul, Carry my soul, Carry my soul
Carry my soul
Nena Nena Nena Tereze ...
[spoken]
Yeah! That's the song of the free
I don't want to fight no more
I feel we where made for something big
Just let the wind blow
[sung]
Nena Nena Nena Tereze ...
You did it to me
My thirsty hearth
[spoken]
Yeah, just let the wind blow
[sung]
Nena Nena Nena Tereze ...
Blessed are the poor
Oh Almighty Love
