Philadelphia Freedom
By Elton John
I used to be a rolling stone you know
If a cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more my work gets done
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man, yeah
Gave me a piece of mama, daddy never had
[Chorus]
Oh Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you
Shine the light, through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine the light, shine the light
Shine the light, won't you shine the light
Philadelphia freedom, I love-ve-ve you, yes I do
If you choose to you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city (some people the city)
Some others choose the good old family home (some others choose a good old...)
I like living easy without family ties (living easy)
Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man
Mmm, gave me a piece of mama, daddy never had
Oh Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you
Shine the light, through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine the light, shine the light
Shine the light, won't you shine the light
Philadelphia freedom, I love-ve-ve you, yes I do

I hear you. We used to think that way about Liberace too!
I honestly don’t know who is acceptable to God. Obviously, the ones who promote evil are not acceptable. The tough part is that there are “so-called” Christian bands who are even worse because they promote a different gospel...

I think there is a major misconception about homosexuality. Homosexuals, we call Sodomites, often have sexual lust for both males and females. The point of Sodomy is to have sex with whoever, whenever, a person wants (including children). It is predatory sexuality. I remember in the 70s when Elton John was married to a female!?!? Statistics say that a homosexual male has over a thousand partners before succumbing to some disease or suicide...
With a bit of critical examination, one can make up their own mind about what good comes from the entertainment we produce and consume.
Is it high culture, or low culture?
Bach or Beastie Boys?
Does are art copy life, or does life copy art?
I’m convinced that cultural “art” industry influences push the envelope of decency and acceptability.
Good Fight Ministries has captured very good examples of increasingly twisted counter culture that puts demonic reference and imagery right out there in our faces, and shape our children’s sense of norms.
Blind jaded lot we’ve become.

Ok, we can agree to disagree. I am for “Philadelphia = Brotherly Love” and “Freedom”. I am just not for Elton John’s version of “Philadelphia Freedom” bringing me “knee-high to a man”...
Then he did “Don’t Let Your Son Go Down on Me.”
Always wondered why a Brit would be singing about “Philadelphia Freedom”, his side lost.
ROFL! But Elton may have worded slightly different...”Please let your son...” Crazy that we are joking about reality!?!?
LOL, what?
Jan, aren't you the one who thought a picture of a crack pipe was something to make test tube babies in?
LOL
What happens if you play it backwards?
“Elton John isn’t gay”
Huh?
Elton John is an unabashed homosexual who is married to his “husband”.

Real disturbing that he and fellow sickos wouod host a party featuring male strippers dressed as child cub scouts back in 1999.
no thanks!
Isn't it "peace of mind my Daddy never had?" That's what it's always sounded like to me.
BTW, I am by no means a fan of Elton John, but song lyrics are notoriously easy to mishear and all those "lyrics" sites get them wrong most of the time.
Wasn’t there some sort of homosexual dustup when he played in Greenville?
‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy.
Depraved. Nothing taken out of context.
He says he is also attracted to women
