Time for another show - strings guide my every move
No choice of where I go - I’ve more than paid my dues
When will I get my dream - just to be free and clear
I want to jump and scream - but there’s no one to hear

Somebody set me free
Somebody cut my strings
I want to try and stand on my own

They call me Wooden Sam
And they pull all the strings
They never cut me slack
Just make me dance and sing

Somebody set me free
Somebody cut my strings
I want to try and stand on my own

Somebody set me free
Somebody cut my strings
I want to try and stand on my own

I’m just a marionette - with dreams of breaking free
from these bonds
The people see me smile, not knowing that it’s just
Painted on

Somebody set me free
Somebody cut my strings
I want to try and stand on my own

I see how others live
No strings to hold them back
I’ll never know until I try

Somebody set me free
Somebody cut my strings
I want to try and stand on my own
