I Want To Be Free

When I feel sorrow I look upon my history with a heavy heart I want what I let go And there is things I should forget But I cant leave my past behind me It's my shadow stretching back along the road So I lift my hands To the sun and say You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way When the night won't end I get lost amongst the company of friends I have lost Women who gave themselves to me Love that still has a beating heart Sometimes when I am weak I want to take it all away Wash away the river of humanity I feel sorrow for a life that is gone I want to be free Yeh I can't change what I have woven in this life Can't unpick the thread I spun behind me So I look upon the world with open arms and say You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way Sometimes when I am sick from worry And the rhythm in my head is stuck on you I find myself searching your name Trying desperately to forget what we shared I look at your face and I find comfort Though I'm not sure I recognise those eyes I want to wake up and tell my people That tomorrow should I awake then I should smile I am thankful to have spent this time with you That it hurts me now is evidence I'm alive You are a blessing if I forget that I am bitter I grow tired only of regretting that I smile You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way You have to be grateful for your past Irrespective of the traps That the lord put in your way
