You can put bars on your windows
You can wrap chains around your heart
Lock the door on the world outside
Lie there in the dark

You can just stare at the TV
Disconnect the telephone
Forget you got friends who can help you
And just go through this alone
But not me CHORUS:
"I'll hold my head high I can walk outside
I can leave it behind me
I don't care if the whole world sees the tears on my face
I'm on my way to a place
Free"

I don't wanna be a prisoner
Memories closin' in like walls
I'm not afraid to walk the edge
I don't care if I fall

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
"Weren't you the one
Who thought that I
Just held you down
You couldn't fly
Is this the way you thought it would be
But not me
I'm Free"

REPEAT CHORUS
