Lyrics
Freedom
by Bryan K Poirier
©Manitou Passage Music, ASCAP 2005
Temptation's deep and wide
I?m frail with human pride
We were caught in our own lies
Knocked to the ground
Tipped the jar till it was dry
Walked the streets among red lights
Demons held me till I cried
Thought I would drown
Chorus
I?ve laid the low road
I?ve beared my own load
My sins had left me stained
How to be clean again?
But, he has saved me
My burden?s empty
Freedom, Freedom, Oh I?m so free
Freedom, Freedom, Oh I?m so free
Got up and fell again
Destined for a sorry end
In the deep to sink or swim
No sign of land
Watched my friends all lose their fights
Drugs and aids and party nights
How did we get so lost in life?
And miss his plan
Chorus
Break (Modulate whole step)
