bound in these chains that imprison me
I try and try but can't break free
I have a passion for life but they are trying to kill it
I bring my empty soul to you every night so that you can fill it
I want to get closer to you but these chains hold me back
and my smiles burn in their negativity from the strength I lack
I try to stay positive, I try to stay cheerful and sane
but the guilt posses me and I feel as if my happiness is in vain
Chorus
When I break free from these chains
my lips will praise your holy name
and nothing will be in the way
I'll speak the words I've always wanted to say
you'll recieve the worship I've always wanted to give
and I will be able to enjoy every moment I live
I will no longer drown in their horrible misery
I will raise my hands up high when I break free
I will fly like a bird in the sky
soaring on the clouds way up high
these chains will no longer imprison this soul
I will live for Christ and be made completely whole
I will spread my wings and release my passion that has been bottled up inside
and I will never have to be afraid because you'll always be by my side
I wish I could share my joy with them but every time I try
they reject it like an allergic reaction never knowing why
Chorus
Always depressed
can't they see we are blessed
my soul is itching inside my skin
cause everything has changed since I let Jesus in
Chorus
