My body's weak, my hands are bleeding
I can no longer feel my legs
These rusted chains, I am gripping
My life is what I drag

I need to stop, I ache to rest
I feel blood escape my ear
No one notices my silent screams
It's themselves that they can hear

I can't go on, I'm out of strength
So why should I even try?
This journey has no destination
It'd be better if I died

My knees give out, I hit the ground
My head and arms all drop
These chains on my wrists, no longer bound
My heart comes to a stop

I open my eyes, stand up straight
I no longer feel this pain
Tears, they quickly stream down my face,
The sky it starts to rain

As the blood gets washed, my wounds all healed
I look up, to see a light
My hopes, my dreams, are all revealed
As my soul.... it takes to flight.
