Striving for Freedom
|
(Verse 1)
I’m caged from the world around me I’m amazed at the world I see I want to be released I can’t wait to be set free And this is where I strive for freedom From the captivating part of me That holds on to what needs to be let go Caging my thoughts, caging me Covered up and locked away The key is broken the door is closed Hiding the shattered piece of my heart That can’t be repaired and shouldn’t be exposed (Chorus) Reaching for something out of my reach Digging for something I'm afraid is too deep Letting go of all that's holding me back I held on too long it's hard to detach I’m trying, I’m striving I'm striving I'm striving for freedom I'm reaching for more All that I'll I’m that holding, I will let go To reach for the freedom that I’m striving for (Verse 2) My wings are the part of me That no one else can see My true identity The me that I can’t be And this is where I strive for freedom From the captivating part of me That holds on to what needs to be let go Caging my thoughts, caging me Covered up and locked away The key is broken the door is closed Hiding the shattered piece of my heart That needs be repaired and has to be exposed (Bridge) It’s hard to come out from my hiding place It’s hard to run fast without losing your pace It’s hard to have wings without being able to fly It’s hard to put up with but that’s part of my strive When you’ve held on so long it’s not easy to let go The things you’ve been hiding aren’t easy to expose It doesn’t matter if it can be done when it’s worth the try It’s a lot to take in but that’s part of my strive |
