Set Free

Encased in the dark, I can't make a sound.
Been wandering lost, never again to be found.
Dreaming away to some misty forgotten shore.
For an enchanted life that gets filled with lore.
I'm trying hard to get by on my own .
But I'm tangled in weeds forever over grown.

Set me free.
The truth was a lie.
Let me be.
I can survive.

All around, spinning effortless till the end.
A need no one, for myself I will fend.
No longer shall anyone or anything keep me bound.
Trapped in vines, I thought to never break free.
But my soul grew strong like an ancient tree.

Set me free.
Your truth was a lie.
Let me be.
I will survive.

Here I am , I have made it at last.
Like pounding waves, my heart racing fast.
Doesn't matter now, It all turned to past.
I've climbed on top, my flag flies high upon the mast.

I've set myself free
My truth is alive.
I'm set free.
The fire's inside.
I'm set free.
My truth is alive.
