Lyrics Free Me - Paul Jones

I see it all before me
My past of restless wonder
My days and nights of torment
A world of misery
The bonds of retribution
Now laid so carefully
I cannot shed my pain
So easily

My spirit's broken
No will to live
My body's all aching
My hands are tied
I need my freedom
Not your sympathy
Look, you needn't love me
Just set me free
Come on, please, set me free
Set me free

Is there a way out for me?
I kneel before you, helpless
Is there somebody out there
To take a chance on me?
I don't pretend to virtue
I don't ask anything
But if you want to help me
My freedom's everything now

My spirt's broken
No will to live
My body's all aching
My hands are tied
And if you want to help me
Please tell me if you can
What good is retribution
Without a helping hand?

I need my freedom
Not your sympathy
Look, you needn't love me
