Lyrics

Free

[Chorus]

I will never be free

I shall never be released

From the chains that bind me, that torture and blind me

And keep me from peace

[Verse 1]

Oh, what heartache

Oh, what heartbreak

Following me

Calling to me

[Chorus]

I will never be free

I shall never be released

From the chains that bind me, that torture and blind me

And keep me from peace

I will never be free

I will never be laid to rest

Sisters and brothers, I'll never recover

From this tenderness

[Verse 2]

See what love brings

Hear what love sings

Sad melodies

Enticing me

[Chorus]

I will never be free

I shall never be released

From the chains that bind me, that torture and blind me

And keep me from peace

I will never be free

I will never be laid to rest

Sisters and brothers, I'll never recover

From this tenderness
