[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, heavy drums, bass enters] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar] Sun coming up On a brand new life [drums build with snare rolls] Yeah! [full band hits] [Verse 2] Spent years living Inside fences Built from doubt And second guesses Always wondering What could go wrong Till I got tired Of singing that song [Pre-Chorus] One morning I woke up And saw it clear The bars on the cage Were made of fear I took one step Then another And the whole world opened [Chorus] [driving rhythm, open power chords] The day fear lost its grip I came alive Chains hit the ground And I started to fly No more looking back At what might have been The day fear lost its grip That's when freedom walked in [Instrumental Break] [bluesy guitar solo with wah-wah effect] [Verse 3] Burned some bridges Needed burning Took some chances Needed taking 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 The road ain't safe But neither is staying [Chorus] The day fear lost its grip I came alive Chains hit the ground And I started to fly No more looking back At what might have been The day fear lost its grip That's when freedom walked in [Bridge] [half-time feel, sustained guitar chords] Some know but I kept moving The sky got dark but I kept pushing Turns out courage ain't the absence of fear It's taking the wheel while fear rides in the rear [drums build back to full tempo] No chains No limits No apologies [Chorus] The day fear lost its grip I came alive Every dream I buried Started to rise No more living For somebody else's plan The day fear lost its grip I finally became who I am [Outro] Wide open sky Wide open road Freedom [final guitar chord rings out, drum crash]
