I was running away from the chain gang   Still afraid of the change   Can’t deny this is better than ever   The missing piece that I am      Can’t hold me down long   I’m stronger than I’ve been   Wasted too much time   In the place that I’m in      What a relief I feel now   It’s what I believe   It’s all that I’ve been through now   Has made me what I am      I no longer hide behind walls no more   No longer say words I don’t mean no more   I no longer lie, no reason for   No longer pry, I don’t need to know      Started fighting for air in your presence   No one could understand   To good too be true when it started   Wish I only knew then      You took control of me   Made me feel insecure   Could not do better   I believed in you      What a relief I feel now   It’s what I believe   It’s all that I’ve been through now   Has made me what I am      I no longer hide behind walls no more   No longer say words I don’t mean no more   I no longer lie, no reason for   No longer pry, I don’t need to know      No more running away   No more fear of pain   I am on my way   To a brighter day
