Free
Sometimes I just want to get away,
break free from all this heartache—
and anger, I must say.
Be free to roam
without hurt in my heart,
break away from the aggravation
that’s tearing me apart.
I need someone to see my struggle,
to truly understand
why a good person
is always stepped on by an unseen hand.
By “man” I mean society,
by “person” I mean you.
Living in depression
leaves one disgruntled and blue.
Not knowing the next move,
not knowing the next step.
Be careful, my friend—
the pressure will build up yet.
All in your mind,
all in your heart,
broken promises and shattered trust
tear your world apart.
Broken hearts, broken promises—
need I say?
They leave you wandering
in confusion and dismay.
Break free from the chaos
that holds you back.
You have determination—
a strong will you do not lack.
Hold your head up high,
stand proud and strong.
When trouble arises,
you’ll be the first they call upon.
