lyrics

Words became weapons, whisper or scream
I tried forgiveness, set myself free
But time is a prison acceptance the
key
My sadness the demon that wouldn't let me leave

Unlock the cell door , unleash my old soul
Unchain the hope that was tied to the floor
To take in a breath of a dream on the wind
Welcome freedom from the cage I was in

Rolled up those heart strings I thought I'd lost
Boxed up my mistakes , turned my back and tossed
Love's hidden treasures , came with a cost
Left with the shadow of her broken heart

Unlock the cell door , unleash my old soul
Unchain the hope that was tied to the floor
To take in a breath of a dream on the wind
Welcome freedom from the cage I was in

I feel myself again , glimpsing the wealth of friends
Still trust a helping hand
Wrote the letter I'll never send
For All the lessons that I learned
And bridges that I could've burned
I found a chance , another turn
To right the past and cure the hurt
Welcome Freedom
