So, the choice was made
Sometimes the consequence is hard to face
They took your freedom, tortured you
And left you there for dead but
Your heart is still pounding
You feel like someone swept all hope away
There is no chance again you’ll see the light of day
They took your freedom, chained you up
And left you there for dead but
Your heart is still holding on
Lost beyond all hope
Make me believe that there is still a light
Take my hand and rise
And you will clearly see a chance for you
They told you that there can be no escape
The road you think you see is leading nowhere
But they don’t get to know
What’s in your mind
Your chains are breaking
Now, with every step
You’re getting closer to the path you’ve made
To claim your freedom, take my hand
And lift your head up higher
Your heart keeps pounding
You’re heading towards a new brighter day
No thoughts again about the dues you had to pay
To claim your freedom, take my hand
And lift your head up higher
Your heart keeps holding on
Echoes of hope carrying me home
All around me, reaching out for me
