Freedom Rings

Can't fly when the world says anger down
No joy till the camera flashed
No smiles till the camera asked
They love it when your demons hang around
They hang around

And I believe in a space to breathe, air is running out
I can hear the clouds begging me to spread my wings again
Yeah, like I forgot what being fly's about
I'm just wiser now, oh-whoa

Hearts made in Winter, hope's made in Spring
Trying to remember what made me sing
Crumbled and broken, hoping these wings can help me rise again
Hey, something just beyond your grasp won't ground me
Something that I lost at last just found me
I'm popping far beyond the paparazzi
I can't stop y'all from watching, but you're watching me taking off

(I) gave you all I had, my love, my blood, my sweat and my
(Time) but you wanted more, I invested these years, these tears that I
(Cried) you're concrete, but I rose like a rose, Lord knows that I almost
(Died) they tried to chain me, estrange me, run away declaring my freedom rings

Ooh-whoa
Freedom rings
Ooh-whoa
Ooh

Everything around me's changing now
I've forgot to remember the fingerprints he left on my innocence, I'm breaking out
I can see the world from higher ground, higher ground
See, all I need is the part of me that's been screaming out, ayy
"Brandy, make the money"
I'm sick of conforming
Got too many thorns in my rose
Can't be contained or tamed
I laugh at thunder, dance through rain
It means the sun will shine again
And again

Hearts made in Winter, hope's made in Spring
Trying to remember what made me sing
Crumbled and broken, hoping these wings can help me rise again
Hey, something just beyond your grasp won't ground me
Something that I lost at last just found me
I'm popping far beyond the paparazzi
I can't stop y'all from watching, but you're watching me taking off

(I) gave you all I had, my love, my blood, my sweat and my
(Time) but you wanted more, I invested these years, these tears that I
(Cried) cried, you're concrete, but I rose like a rose, God knows that I almost
(Died) died, they tried to change me, chain me, I run away declaring my freedom (Sings)

Woo! Ooh-whoa
My freedom (Rings)
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-whoa
No alarm, trinity

(I) gave you all I had, my love, my blood, my sweat and my
(Time) but you wanted more, I invested these years, these tears that I
(Cried) cried, you're concrete, but I rose like the Sun and the Moon, I almost
(Died) they tried to change me, chain me, run away declaring my freedom (sings)

Hallelujah!
