Free - Hanna Pakarinen

I place a small bet

I lose with no regret and close the door

I light a cigarette

I bite the bullet to taste the war

I’m all used up

Though I’ve got gas to burn

Another cigarette

I down the whiskey and get one more

Outside the sunset

I see the silhouettes and silently adore

For the first time

Since my return

I’m free, free from the chains now

There’s hope, will, strength, direction

Now I can live without you, without you

Now I can live

It’s been a long ride

It took a long time, been down on all fours

I’ve been to blue eyed

I’ve tried to hide nevermore

Lord, have mercy for me to learn

I’m free, free from the chains now…
