I used to pray to an idol, I don't do that anymore
I used to bow down to a king, scrape my chin across the floor
I used to be ruled by hatred, fear and jealousy
I used to be ruled by all these things, but I never more will be
I use to bow down to the bottle, to the holy cigarette
I was a fool for money, wanted all that I could get
I'd do anything for a woman, if I thought that she'd have me
Now I've given up on all these things and finally I'm free
Chorus:
I'm free again, like I have been reborn
It's a brand new day, in the early hours of morn
And I'm walkin away, from the trouble I've been in
I'm free again
I was afraid to look inside, to see what I might find
It might be worse than cancer, maybe I would lose my mind
I kept myself distracted, I found a thousand ways
I used to let them weigh me down, now I let them fall away
As soon as I stop tryin, I nd an easy way
Stop lookin for the future, start living for today
I give up on perfection, start breathing easily
And if I ever need an answer, I just look inside of me
I don't need a banker, his silver and his gold
I don't need to be young and thin, I'm happy growin old
And lately I've been thinkin, there's hope for you and me
‘Cause maybe now I'm ready, to be all I can be
Chorus and tag chorus
