It has n’t al ways been this way.
I re mem ber bright er days
be fore the dark ones came,
(C#m)stole my mind,
wrapped my soul in chains.
Now I live a mong the dead,
fight ing voic es in my head,
hop ing some one hears me (C#m)cry ing in the night
and car ries me a way.
Set me free
of the chains
hold ing me.
Is (A)an y bod y out there hear ing me?
Set me 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 Man that comes my way?
The dark ones shriek, they scream His name.
Is this the (F#sus)One they say will (C#m)set the cap tives free?
Je sus, res cue me.
Set me free
Set me (B)free.
As the God Man pass es by,
He (A)looks straight through my eyes,
and dark ness can not hide.
Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains;
I hold the key.
All pow’r on Heav’n and Earth
be long to (F#sus)me.
Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains;
I hold the key.
All pow’r on Heav’n and Earth
be long to (F#sus)me.
Do you want to be free?
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
