Breaking Free

Free bird you’re flying on your own
Sinking slowly scared and alone
It’s time to take the plank out of your eye
It’s a time of reckoning, its do or die
Pick up the pieces of this lie
String it back to the truth and ask yourself why
Look in the mirror it’s time you’re examined
Search your soul it’s not quite as you imagined
Broken, incomplete, not where you want to be
Fake, insecure, as lost as can be
Lay down your will, sacrifice your desire
Give it all up, be refined by fire
Strongholds come crashing down
The strings are cut and peace is found
Free bird you’re flying in the truth
Holding on your breaking free
