Shake Loose

Peeling off the label that defined me.
Putting those cruel words behind me.
Breaking your crystal ball that told my future so wrongly;
Who knew I felt so strongly?
Who knew I felt?
And the cards that I've been dealt--
I'm folding 'em, I'm throwing in.
Dealing my own hand; making my own plans.

I'm free and I feel it.
Now it's time to deal with
Those chains that bound me,
so glad that Grace found me.
Who knew all I had to do was shake loose
 to break loose
break free
from all that bound me.
