Look into the distance, you're living in a cage

A fire burns inside you, that fuels all the rage

You're thinking of the outside, and dream of the past

The gates to freedom lie within your grasp





They're changing the system, rewriting the laws

Renaming religion, reshaping your cause

You always be lonely, walking with fools

The shadows in the doorways make the rules

Because you're free, this time

Don't be scared of who you are

Free, to find

There's no hiding in the dark



A new day is dawning, a new age begun

Nobody told you which way you should run

Wait for the thunder, break from the shell

Is this the gate to freedom from this hell?



Because you're free, this time

Don't be scared of who you are

Free, to find

There's no hiding in the dark

Free, this time

You can learn to live again

Free, to find

There is shelter from the rain

Free



They're razing the fences in the pastures of doom

The fields of our heroes, the land won by few

The call of a new world, dream to transcend

Now it's time to fight and start again



Because you're free, this time

Don't be scared of who you are

Free, to find

There's no hiding in the dark

Because you're free, this time

You can learn to live again

Free, to find

There is shelter from the rain
