To Be Free
To Be Free
Words & Music Constance Rhodes, Mark Gersmehl, and Missi Hale
Who’s that stranger in the mirror?
My reflection left unclear
By all the voices in my head
I’m so tired of this cage
Of this fire that seems to rage
Consuming all my soul
To be whole would be heaven
But to get there seems like hell
And I don’t know what it would mean
To be free to be free
Of these painful lies that threaten me
To be free, could it be
Something more than what I have believed
To be free
Another day and still I pray
Are you really even there
Or have I finally pushed you away (like everyone else)
I’m so lonely, I’m so afraid
Drowning in my shame
Yet I know there must be more than this
To be whole would be heaven
And I want to make this change
But I need some help to believe
To be free to be free
Would be sweeter than controlling everything
To be free
Could I see
What lies just beyond this fear in me
To be free
They say that freedom is a song
Oh how my heart longs
Lord just to see
How different life
Could be
To be free to be free
Just to see myself the way you see me
In your eyes I can fly
Become everything that I was made to be
Lord please help me know, I’m not alone
Give me strength to fight
And the will to find…
Freedom
