To Be Free

Here we are, right now

Trying to get somewhere

Through these midnight days

Quicksand highways

Something's missing here

Something I had before

Or is it a distant place we're all waiting for?

Oh, to be free

Oh, to be free

I've looked everywhere

For someone to share the weight

To make me not afraid of the "me" I hate

Tell me I'm not alone

That you are just like me

That you won't run away from all the dark inside of me

Oh, to be free

Oh, to be free

I've been shackled so long

By the chains of loss and brokenness

I've been drowning in the dark

In the middle of a sea of loneliness

I see the sun coming up

I feel the chains falling off

I know there's a greater love

Trying to get to me

One that can take the pain

And bring new hope to everything

Oh, to be free

Oh, to be free

To be free
