The Day Fear Lost Its Grip

[Intro] [Big guitar riff] [Kick drum pulse] Sun comin' up On a brand new line [Verse 1] Spent years livin' Inside fences Built from doubt And second guesses Always wonderin' What could go wrong Till I got tired Of singin' that song One morning I woke up And saw it clear The bars on the cage Were made of fear [Pre-Chorus] I took one step Then another And the whole world opened [Chorus] The day fear lost its grip I came alive Chains hit the ground And I started to fly No more lookin' back At what might have been The day fear lost its grip That's when freedom walked in [Instrumental Break] [Southern rock guitar solo] [Driving rhythm section] [Verse 2] Burned some bridges Needed burnin' Took some chances Needed takin' The horizon looked bigger With every mile And for the first time I could finally smile Not because life got easy Because I got brave [Pre-Chorus] The road ain't safe But neither is stayin' [Chorus] The day fear lost its grip I came alive Chains hit the ground And I started to fly No more lookin' back At what might have been The day fear lost its grip That's when freedom walked in [Bridge] Thunder rolled But I kept movin' The sky got dark But I kept pushin' Turns out courage Ain't the absence of fear It's takin' the wheel While fear rides in the rear [Breakdown] [Drums and bass only] No chains No limits No apologies [Final Chorus] The day fear lost its grip I came alive Every dream I'd buried Started to rise No more livin' For somebody else's plan The day fear lost its grip I finally became who I am [Outro] [Huge guitar outro] Wide open sky Wide open road Freedom
