If I could hand you a teardrop or two 
Would you taste the pain that binds me? 
Every single trap that I fall into 
Takes a little peace from inside me 

This is a question of heart 
This is the answer torn apart 
This is a fierce endeavor 
To face my fears forever...and let it go 

I take this pain and let it go... 

Freedom comes with eyes wide open 
Hope unchained in pure devotion 

To freedom... 

In my mind there's a picture of me 
A memory of the man I used to be 
I used to have a faith like thunder 
But now I feel it falling under 

The weight of a good day, gone black 
The weight of a heart under attack 
This is where I stop pretending 
That I'm not in need of mending...and let it go 

I take this hate and let it go... 

Freedom comes with eyes wide open 
Hope unchained in pure devotion 

To freedom... 

I once heard someone say the joke's on me 
Pride has turned my faith to fallacy 
This is where I cast the old man down 
This is where I turn my faith around
