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
