Idol

I once was so brave. No fear laced my faith. I once was untamed

Who am I today? What made me this way? A fraction. A slave

‘Cause when the fall set in, I had to sink or swim

And so I did my best to raise my chin

Now all that I recall is how it feels to fall

I never want to feel that way again

I used to believe caged birds don’t, can’t sing, I once had a dream

But when the morning came the nightmare still remained

It pulses through like poison in my veins

It’s hard to close your eyes if the monsters in your mind

I get so tired of wasting in these chains

I don’t care what they say, I don’t care what they do

I don’t care anymore ‘cause I’m living the proof

And I’m stronger because of what I have been through

And I know this is what I was made to do, made to do

Well it all comes back with a vengeance now

Oh the memories they still drown me in doubt

But it’s strange remains what I feel for you

I have no more hurt only gratitude
