Embrace

It’s hard... to find yourself  
When you’re trapped in the memory of someone else  
Your soul... it can never be free
You can never love unconditionally  
 
A prison... without bars
A vendetta of chains with shackles of permanent scars
All the whiskey... all the rain
Can never wash away the pain
 
I just want to be free
Find a smile  
That makes life all worth while  
Take me to a better place
With all the love I can embrace
I just want to be free... can’t you see
 
(Instrumental)
 
Was it lust... was it love
Either way it doesn’t matter she was given by the angels above
So many years... have gone by  
I have no tears left to cry
 
I just want to be free
Find a smile  
That makes life all worth while  
Take me to a better place
With all the love I can embrace
I just want to be free... can’t you see
 
(Instrumental)
 
Don’t worry, I’ll carry on  
I’ll find myself standing on the edge of a midnight dawn
Like a shooting star... I never heard your plea
I selfishly gave away the best part of me
 
I just want to be free
Find a smile  
That makes life all worth while  
Take me to a better place
With all the love I can embrace
I just want to be free... can’t you see
 
Yeah... can’t you see
