A door closed that wouldn't let me in But another door opened so I'm beginning again I count every step of these stairs So hard to get from here to there I'm coming up You know that I'm free I'm free Got my head held up and the view is stunning With the hounds on my heels, I just keep running My heart beats deep in my chest I won't look back and there's no time to rest I'm coming up You know that I'm free I'm free I'm free from the shackles Free from the chains Free from the heartache The struggles and the pain And I'm free I'm free, I'm free You know that I'm free, free I'm free from the shackles Free from the chains Free from the heartache The struggles and the pain And I'm free, free I'm free, free I'm free Free
