We Are Free

We Are Free is a Broadway Musical-styled song of anonymous in-universe origin in Rapture heard during Burial at Sea - Episode 1, seemingly written to ease the minds of those who feared for the worst when the eventual Little Sisters were taken from their families, claiming that it is merely an example of living an objectivist lifestyle, which is something Rapture values highly. It is heard in the Background, when standing near the Little Wonders Educational Facility on Market Street. the Song was written by Jim Bonney, arranged and performed by Duncan Watt, with vocals provided by Shelley Jennings, Sarah Rosa, Kayla Belmore, and Ashlee Flagg.

Lyrics
Intro: Little Sister(Spoken): Sing us a Song, Mama Tenenbaum! Mama Tenenbaum(Spoken): A Song? Little Sister(Spoken): ''Yes! A Song!'' (Commotion) Mama Tenenbaum(Spoken): ''Oh, Very Well. Hmmm...Let's see...''

(Singing Begins) They say a child should be grateful...for their lot in life But your parents are really not your choice If you are shy and seen, not heard, and don't seek your heart's desire You may never hear the sound of little boys Don't get caught up in false rules and old conventions Don't let them talk you down because you're young You're life's your own, you're free to choose So let the bells be rung, and let your sole desire...

Chorus 1: We are Free! Free to be! Free to be what we want to be! So come along with me and you will surely see that we can be what we want to be!

If a bad man offers candy, say "No, thank you" If they say they want to help you, that's just pity You have all you need and never will go hungry You can feed yourselves and don't need charity Chorus 2: We are Free! Free to be! Free to be what we want to be! We dance and sing all day, while learning our own way We can be what we want to be!

Life seems sweet when mommy says that she'll protect you That she'll always pick you up if you should fall But we all know that a skinned knee shouldn't stop you Who would favor being treated like a doll?

Chorus 3: We are Free! Free to be! Free to be what we want to be! No pa or mommy sillies, and dumb, bad valid fee We can be what we want to be!

Chorus 4: We are Free! Free to be! Free to be what we want to be! Uncle Ryan, Papa Suchong, All my sisters, and then me We can be what we want to be! We can be what we want to be!
