Free

I've got my back against the wall
But I can still hear the blue sky call
The chains that hold me back inside
Are the prisons of my mind
Free, come set me free
Down on my knees
I still believe you could
Save me from me
Come set me free
Come set me free
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
I try to live the light of day
Why would I do what I hate
But when I try to reach above
I only hurt the ones I love
Free, come set me free
Down on my knees
I still believe you could
Save me from me
Come set me free
Come set me free
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
There's a hole in the neighborhood
Where the shadows fall
There's a hole in my heart but my hope
Is not in me at all
I had a dream that my chains were broken
Broken, broken, open.
Free, come set me free
Down on my knees
I still believe you could
Save me from me
Come set me free
I still believe
But inside this shell there's a prison cell
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
Inside this shell there's a prison cell
