Oh set me free I've been sitting home patiently I've been faithful as I can be Open the doors and set me free Oh set me free Give me back my liberty Listen up now, hear my plea Take off your chains and set me free Like a bird in a cage of gold I've been imprisoned by the lies you told Give me the keys and I'll walk out the door I don't know if I can take anymore You tie me up and you lock me down Meanwhile our friends are out all over town You make the rules that you say I can't break But it's a chance that I'm willing to take Oh set me free I don't need your sympathy I've been patient as I can be Take off your chains and set me free I feel so tired but I just can't sleep No turning back now 'cause you're in too deep Ask myself "am I going insane?" I don't know when I'll see you again Strange times we all understand We've got to take our life in our own hands Isolation is making me blue Still got a whole lot of living to do Oh set me free I don't need your security I've been patient as I can be Take off these chains and set me free Oh set me free Save me from my misery Listen to me and hear my plea Take off these chains and set me free
