Freedom

Words can be daggers they say
Often get in the way
So why do we talk so much
We could open our eyes
Many answers we'll find
Far beyond the things that we can't touch

Yet we push on
We drag on
And we try to remember
New year to December
It's hard to imagine
This life without fear
Asking why are we here

I put my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself
I placed my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself

Have you ever knocked on a door
Till your knuckles were sore
Hoping for a new start inside
But when the door finally opens
That's when the hope ends
It's the same old story you find

Yet we push on
We drag on
And we try to remember
New year to December
It's hard to imagine
This life without fear
Asking why are we here

I put my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself
I placed my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself

It's a long long road I have traveled
So many wrong turns
How did I get here
How did they know my final destination
The path that I found lies beyond explanation
It's a miracle I'm still here
It's a miracle I'm still here

Yet we push on
We drag on
And we try to remember
New year to December
It's hard to imagine
This life without fear
Asking why are we here

I put my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself
I placed my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself

It's a miracle I'm still here

It's a miracle I'm still here
Yet we push on
We drag on
And we try to remember
New year to December
It's hard to imagine
This life without fear
Asking why are we here
I put my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself

I placed my heart on a shelf
I found freedom outside myself

It's a miracle I'm still here
It's a miracle I'm still here
