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
To be free
