lyrics

To Be Free

All I wanted was to live my life
Oh to be free
Trapped inside an hour glass of time
Oh to be free

I'm underneath the sand
I'm reaching out my hand
There's more to life

Disguising all my pain
Is my life in vain
Am I a sacrifice

Did the best with what I thought I had
And what I had was more needs
Right out the gate claws disguised as hands
They pulled me down to my knees

And looking from the ground
I'm forced to search around
And find a way

Holding a thousand years
My scars and my tears
They just don't fade away

Take me, brake me,
From these chains
Take me wake me
From my pain

All I wanted was to live my life
Oh to be free
Trapped inside an hour glass of time
Oh to be free

Oh, oh, oh, to be free
Oh, oh, oh, to be free

Holding my breath from here
Surviving all my fears
No one can take away
All of the dreams I had
My memories from the past
So on our knees we pray

Hold me closely
Faded from glory
Rise of morning
Re-write the story
Change this ending
Change all time

I'll I wanted was to live my life
Oh to be free
Trapped inside an hour glass of time
Oh to be free

Oh, oh, oh, to be free
Oh, oh, oh, to be free

No longer a child
Who's surrounded by dreams
Life has passed me by
But I still believe

Shatter all this shaded Glass
Freed from sands of my Past
Lift me up and let me fly
Slavery to life
Overcoming all the odds
