Liberation - The Echoing Green

If I could hand you a teardrop or two

Would you taste the pain that binds me?

Every single trap that I fall into

Takes a little peace from inside me

This is a question of heart

This is the answer torn apart

This is a fierce endeavor

To face my fears forever… and let it go

I take this pain and let it go…

Freedom comes with eyes wide open

Hope unchained in pure devotion

To freedom…

In my mind there’s a picture of me

A memory of the man I used to be

I used to have a faith like thunder

But now I feel it falling under

The weight of a good day, gone black

The weight of a heart under attack

This is where I stop pretending

That I’m not in need of mending… and let it go

I take this hate and let it go…

Freedom comes with eyes wide open

Hope unchained in pure devotion

To freedom…

I once heard someone say the joke’s on me

Pride has turned my faith to fallacy

This is where I cast the old man down

This is where I turn my faith around
