You can put bars on your windows You can wrap chains around your heart Lock the door on the world outside Lie there in the dark You can just stare at the TV Disconnect the telephone Forget you got friends who can help you And just go through this alone But not me CHORUS: "I'll hold my head high I can walk outside I can leave it behind me I don't care if the whole world sees the tears on my face I'm on my way to a place Free" I don't wanna be a prisoner Memories closin' in like walls I'm not afraid to walk the edge I don't care if I fall REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE: "Weren't you the one Who thought that I Just held you down You couldn't fly Is this the way you thought it would be But not me I'm Free" REPEAT CHORUS
