[Verse 1]
Why do you stay behind those bars
When a soul set free is who you really are?
Why do you wear those prison rags
When He's told you're not captive to your past?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't you know you've been covered by grace
Time to throw off those chains

[Chorus]
Why are you sittin' in a prison with the door wide open?
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open
Aren't you ready to start living
Like you know you've been forgiven?
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open

[Verse 2]
Why do you stay locked down by shame?
'Cause that was gone the day you called on Jesus' name
And all the guilt and all your fеar
Tell me why do you let thеm keep you here

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't you know you've been covered by grace?
You're not defined by yesterday
[Chorus]
Why are you sittin' in a prison with the door wide open?
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open
Aren't you ready to start living
Like you know you've been forgiven?
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open

[Bridge]
Who the Son sets free is free indeed
You're free, you're free, you're free
Who the Son sets free is free indeed
You're free, you're free, you're free
You're free, you're free, you're free

[Outro Chorus]
Why are you sittin' in a prison with the door wide open?
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open
Why are you sittin' in a prison with the door wide open?
Aren't you ready to start living
Like you know you've been forgiven?
Sittin' in a prison with the door wide open
