Let Me Be Free Today

Inside of me, there are words
that want to come out;
Words that detained me in sorrow and in pain;
For so many years it bound me in despair
and led me to live in a world full of dismay;
In my mind there are memories I want to fade;
In my heart there is a wound I want to be healed;
With all those nightmares, I almost gave up to live.

I wish I could shout out those words today
Release all torments to be free someday
Let these tears flow untill it gone away
I want to be free and be healed, I pray!
So let me shout out those words all day!
Release me and let me be free today!
I'm not your slave! Let me be free today!
You don't own me! Let me be free today!
