Free Verse 1 I was holding my breath in a room full of noise Trying to drown out the echo, trying to follow the voice That kept telling me, "Stay where it's safe, don't move" But my heart had a fire, and it burned straight through I was chasing a shadow, I was losing the light Giving all of my colors just to get through the night Then you touched my soul like a break in the blue And I remembered the strength I forgot I knew Pre-Chorus Now the walls are falling one by one What we were afraid of is undone I can feel the sky open wide No more running, no more hiding Chorus I wanna be free, free Love like a river washing over me No chains on my heart, no fear in my feet You pull me closer, then you let me dream And I can finally breathe, breathe Your light is lifting all the dark in me If love is a door, then you gave me the key Now I'm wide awake, and I'm not afraid I wanna be free Verse 2 There were nights I was bent like a wire in the rain Every promise I carried felt too heavy to name But you saw the spark underneath all the smoke You held on to my hand when I was ready to let go And I don't need a map for the road anymore Every scar, every crack only opened the door To a life where the truth doesn't have to be small Where I stand in my power and I give it my all Pre-Chorus Now the walls are falling one by one What we were afraid of is undone I can feel the sky open wide No more running, no more hiding Chorus I wanna be free, free Love like a river washing over me No chains on my heart, no fear in my feet You pull me closer, then you let me dream And I can finally breathe, breathe Your light is lifting all the dark in me If love is a door, then you gave me the key Now I'm wide awake, and I'm not afraid I wanna be free Post-Chorus Free, free Nothing gonna hold me underneath Free, free You and I are stronger when we believe Bridge I was born for the open air For the kind of love that meets me there No more doubt, no looking back No more fading into black If I fall, I'll rise again With your heartbeat in my chest And the truth spinning round my veins Like a song I won't forget Final Chorus I wanna be free, free Love like a river washing over me No chains on my heart, no fear in my feet You pull me closer, then you let me dream And I can finally breathe, breathe Your light is lifting all the dark in me If love is a door, then you gave me the key Now I'm wide awake, and I'm not afraid I wanna be free Outro Wide awake Not afraid Open heart, no need to hide away I wanna be free
