Finally Free
Running away from the ties that bind
I thought I'd find freedom
Escape from real life
But I learned
The lonely roads that promise liberty
Were their own kind of prison
They all led back to me
But when I've let love tie me down
To my surprise I've found

I'm free
I'm finally free
To give something back
To live what I believe
And love, love You honestly
Because I'm finally free of me

Making a place where I'd feel secure
I thought I'd be happy
Oh, I'm not so sure
There's a voice that calls me on
For the greater good
And I could make a difference
If only I would
And when I risk this life I made
For someone else's sake
I'm free
I'm finally free
To give something back
To live what I believe
And love, love You honestly
Because I'm finally free of me

I'm free to dream for Your success
And work to see You be Your best
I'm free to play the lesser role
Give up my need to have control
I'm free to trust You with my heart
And take a chance and drop my guard
To make a promise and be true
To bind myself to You
And when I bind myself to You

I'm free
I'm finally free
To give something back
To live what I believe
And love, love You honestly
Because I'm finally free of me

I'm free
I'm finally, finally, finally free
Mmm, to live what I believe
And love, love You honestly
Because I'm finally free of me
