Unchained
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have been ungrateful
And I have been unwise
Restless from the cradle
But now I realize
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
Oh I am weak
Oh I know I am vain
Take this weight from me
Let my spirit be unchained
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk
And I am overcome
Seems that we've both forgotten
Forgotten to go home
Have I seen an angel
Or have I seen a ghost
Where's that rock of ages
When you need it most
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
