I've told myself never again
But in my heart, I wonder when
The next time will be
I know wrong and I know right
But I don't know why it's a fight
To just be free

'Cause I've done all I can
I am just a man
Oh, God, You're the only one
Who understands

That it's got a hold on me
And it's breaking my heart
It just won't let me be
And it's tearing me apart
There's a better man inside of me
Trying to be free, dying to be free

Oh, I know the truth will set me free
So, God, won't You show the truth to me
Oh, I know You love me and I know You care
But I just need to know You're there
'Cause I'm trying, oh, I'm dying to be free

I won't give up till I've won
Till all Your work in me is done
God, hear my plea
I'll just hold on to Your grace
Calling Your name, seeking Your face
Hold on to me
'Cause I've done all I can
I am just a man
Oh, God, You're the only one
Who understands

That it's got a hold on me
And it's breaking my heart
It just won't let me be
And it's tearing me apart
There's a better man inside of me
Trying to be free, dying to be free
