Lyrics

It has n’t al ways been this (Bbmaj7)way.

I re mem ber bright er days

be fore the dark ones came,

(Dm)stole my mind,

wrapped my soul in chains.

Now I (Dm7)live a mong the (Bbmaj7)dead,

fight ing voic es in my (Gsus2)head,

hop ing some one hears me (Dm)cry ing in the night and car ries me a way.

Set me (Bb)free

of the (Dm)chains hold ing me.

Is (Bb)an y bod y out there hear ing (Gsus)me?

Set me (Dm)free.

Morn ing breaks, an oth er day

finds me cry ing in the rain.

All a lone with my de mons, I am.

Who is this (Dm7)Man that comes my (Bbmaj7)way?

The dark ones shriek, they scream His (Gsus2)name.

Is this the One they say will (Dm)set the cap tives free?

Je sus, res cue me.

Set me

Set me (C)free.

As the God Man pass es by,

He (Bb)looks straight through my eyes,

and dark ness can not hide.

Do you want to be free?

Lift your (Dm)chains; I hold the key.

All (Bb)pow’r on Heav’n and Earth be long to (Gsus)me.

Do you want to be free?

Lift your (Dm)chains; I hold the key.

All (Bb)pow’r on Heav’n and Earth be long to (Gsus)me.

Do you want to be

You are (Dm)free.

You are (Bb)free.

You are (Dm)free.
