Free Me - Paul Jones

I see it all before me

My past of restless wonder

My days and nights of torment

A world of misery

The bonds of retribution

Now laid so carefully

I cannot shed my pain

So easily, now

My spirit's broken

No will to live

My body's all aching

My hands are tied

I need my freedom

Not your sympathy

You, you needn't love me

Just set me free

Come on, come on, set me free

Set me free

Is there a way out for me?

I kneel before you, helpless

Is there somebody out there

To take a chance on me?

I don't pretend to virtue

I don't ask anything

But if you want to help me

My freedom's everything, now

Look, my spirt's broken

No will to live

My body's all aching

My hands are tied

I need, I need my freedom

Not your sympathy

Look, you needn't love me

Just set me free

Come on, come on please, set me free

Set me free

I see it all before me

My darkest days of sorrow

Salvation's hand denied me

No hope of liberty

I only ask one question

Please tell me if you can

What good is retribution

Without a helping hand?
