I was alone and imprisoned within my cell Because of how I lived I had approached the gates of hell Then Your light comes shining through There's nothing better You could ever do Release me by the power in Your hand Chorus: Set me free Set me free Only You can let it be Set me free Set me free Standing speechless I was trying hard to figure out How Your love had saved me taken away my doubt Then I fall down on my knees All I can tell You is I want to please My Lord, my God, my Savior shine on me Chorus Set me free from my desires Set me free from my foolish pride Set me free from all my selfish thoughts and ways By the power that's within You Only You can loose these chains And deliver me to more fulfilling days Chorus x2 Set me free Set me free (repeat) Free from the shackles of the people that tie me All the crippling traditions of past that enslave and then blind me Lord set me free to really know my brother Set us free to love and honor one another I sad I wanna be free enough to openly express my feelings Gotta be free if we wanna be receiving any healing (Free as a bird to fly away Free as the sun to greet a brand new day Free as the stars up in the sky) Free as the future in a baby's eye Free to see as far as you can see Free to be as much as you can be
