Holding this darkness deep inside
Keeps gnawing a hole in me
Piling like thick grime around my heart
'Til I just can't see
But deep within my broken mind
My voice keeps telling to
Wake up (wake up), stand up (stand up)
For things I know true
Whoa-oh, the love I have for you keeps blinding me
Whoa-oh, from all the pain inside, why can't you let it be?
I wanna break free
From all the chains you've put around me
And be the one I've always been
Free my body, free my mind
Free my brain from what's outside
Free my soul, live my life
And become the one inside me
♪
I won't let darkness hold me down
I won't let my fire die down
'Cause just like all things around
The fog will go away
I will stand up, and know no bounds
I will come back to take my crown
And just like all things around
The pain will fade away
Whoa-oh, but the love I have for you keeps haunting me
Whoa-oh, and causing pain inside, why can't you let me be?
I wanna break free
From all the chains you've put around me
And be the one I've always been
Free my body, free my mind
Free my brain from what's outside
Free my soul, live my life
And become the one inside me
Get a hold of your skills, man
Pushing all you've got
You gotta get up and try again
Go in through hell, keep going
Why are you stopping now?
Hey you, go away
Or get burnt by my soul's fire
Hey you, go away
Or let me show you what I'm made of
♪
I wanna break free and be the candle lighting the sea
Break free and let my sun shine bright around me
Break free and give you back the joy that fills me
Break free, I broke free
I wanna break free
From all the chains you've put around me
And be the one I've always been
Free my body, free my mind
Free my brain from what's outside
Free my soul, live my life
And become the one inside me
