My Soul Extended Song Lyrics

my soul (extended version\lyrics)
first verse
I close my eyes 
to keep my soul from shinning through
try to disguise 
the brokenness that lies inside 
the dust is settling now
whats left is all that remains
a tattered me a broken past
a girl who wants to be set free
its who I am

c 1
pull myself up off the floor 
wipe the dust from my brow
and break free from the chains that bind me
im gonna leave the past behind me 
and make a new way
spread my tattered wings and fly

verse 2

I open my eyes 
no longer hiding behind empty words and lies 
no way to disguise it
im gonna let my soul shine through
walk past the broken ruins 
just leave it all behind
as I face a new horizon
my smile breaks free
I am finally free 

c 2

pull myself up off the floor
wipe the dust from my brow
and sew the rips in my bleeding heart
so I can feel again
my chains are far behind me
and the tears fall from my eyes
as I find my way
flying as far as my scared wings will take me 

v 3 

my soul is shinning brightly now
my heart is finally healed 
no matter how many times
you chain me down
I will always break free
so just watch me soar to new possibility 
don't get in my way
I wont let you chain me down again
I was meant to be free
