Free Again

I used to pray to an idol, I don’t do that anymore
I used to bow down to a king, scrape my chin across the floor
I used to be ruled by hatred, fear, and jealousy
I used to be ruled by all these things, but I never more will be

I use to bow down to the bottle, to the holy cigarette
Well, I was a fool for money, I wanted all that I could get
I’d do anything for a man, if I thought that he’d have me
Now I’ve given up on all these things and finally I’m free

Chorus
I’m free again, like I have been reborn
It’s a brand new day, in the early hours of morn’
and I’m walkin’ away, from the trouble I’ve been in
I’m free again

I was afraid to look inside, to see what I might find
You know it might be worse than cancer, oh baby I would lose my mind
So I kept myself distracted, I found a thousand ways
I used to let them weigh me down, now I let ‘em fall away

Bridge
Oh, as soon as I stop tryin’ to find that easy way
Stop lookin’ for the future, start livin’ for today
I give up on perfection, start breathing easily
If I ever need an answer, I just look inside of me

I don’t need a banker, his silver and his gold
I don’t need to be young and thin, I’m happy growin’ old
and lately I’ve been thinkin’ there’s hope for you and me
‘cause maybe now I’m ready, to be all that I can be

Chorus (x2)
I’m free again, like I have been reborn
It’s a brand new day, in the early hours of morn’
and I’m walkin’ away, from all the trouble I’ve been in

I’m free again
