[Verse] In the dark at three years old Mother's trade for white gold Beat down deep underground Silent screams never found [Verse 2] Bound in chains and lost in fear Silent cries no one can hear Stay quiet stay presentable A whisper makes you vulnerable (If it's silent, they are not coming. If it's silent they are not coming.) [Chorus] Faith in shadows led me through A child's voice with hope so true He showed me love some light that day Though his life was taken away [Bridge] At five I held his words so tight In the darkest Deepest night Jesus gave me strength inside In faith's wisdom I can hide [Verse 3] Now the chains they cannot bind I've found solace in my mind With faith I'm standing tall and strong In his memory I belong [Chorus] Faith in shadows led me through A child's voice with hope so true He showed me love some light that day Though his life was taken away [Verse 4] Set free one day when the Feds found us all But my faith stayed with me no matter how small I survived the darkest of all fates no one should own Today I teach many the holy light I was shown (Free at last. Free at last.) [Verse 5] The darkest tales spin the strongest faith Can't take away the smile from my face Though my tears has long since dried Never will I forget my five minute friend that died. [Chorus] Faith in shadows led me through A child's voice with hope so true He showed me love some light that day Though his life was taken away [spoken word] (If it's silent, they are not coming. If it's silent they are not coming.) [Break] [Slow buildup] [Chorus] Faith in shadows led me through A child's voice with hope so true He showed me love some light that day Though his life was taken away [Verse 6] This is my tale and I take it with pride Even though the depth of it's crime My nightmares echo true and cold It is a story that must be told. (Free at last. Free at last.) [end]
