Open and Free

Fear is the enemy 
But also a friend
Hiding inside
Waiting to transcend 

Transcend the heart 
To be open and free
Transcend the heart 
And let the dark soul release

Release the darkness
That hides deep within
Release the light 
That chases away sin

Sin that bounds
With chains that bind
Sin you can’t ever 
Take back or rewind

Rewind to the beginning
Of the first beat of your heart
Rewind like a baby
With a brand new start 

Start your heart over
And close the door on fear
Start looking to the future
A new beginning is near
