No More Chains - Nichole Nordeman

How did I get locked up inside?

What’s this that renders me paralyzed?

I lost myself in small pieces

It happened over time

I traded love for a heavy chain

Another link every other day

I pulled it up and down a mountain

It made me want to say…

No more chains

No more chains

Big and small, watch them fall away

No more chains

Big and small, watch them fall away

I wonder now if the choice was mine

The door was open, I walked inside

Nobody had my arm twisted

Nobody made me stay

The face of freedom can show up small

A tiny crack in a prison wall

A song that rises up from silence

A voice that wants to say…

I should let you give me wings

I should let you set me free
