Was it loneliness that brought you here

Broken and weak

Was it tiredness that made you sleep

Have you lost your will to speak

Was the earth spinning round

Were you falling through the ground

As the world came tumbling down

You prayed to God what have we done



Free me from these chains I need to change my way

Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away, far away, far away



Was it emptiness that made you weep

No more secrets to keep

Was it bitterness that gave you time

To forgive your sins

Was the earth spinning round

Were you falling through the ground

As the world came tumbling down

You prayed to God what have we done



Free me from these chains I need to change my way

Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away

Free me from these thoughts long forgotten down below

Take these angel’s words give them life to carry on, carry on, carry on

Free me from these chains
