Defyance - Running Free lyrics

I was once such a lamb like you

So white and clean

Then the world got ahold of me

Now I'm a nightmare's dream

On my own like a shot in the dark

Racing down the road

On the loose like a hungry shark

Through the oceans cold

If I tried to fly

Would I get very high

Take a look here up on the stage

Tell me what do you see

A lonely man with a heart full of rage

Can you hear me scream

What do I want

What do I need

I can hear you say

My four best friends and this guitar

Is how I'll make my way

Now that you see me fly

C'mon reach for the sky

Don't try to hold me

Now I'm running free

Your preachers stone me

Now I'm running free

With the night

Because you need the dark to save the light

Don't try to hold me

Now I'm running free

Now we ride

All at once came a sound from above

But I don't have the time to make it

Every night in the crux of my soul

I just don't have the guts to fake it

I was born just to ramble about

No one is going to keep me down

Don't say you love me to keep me here

'Cause I will never settle down

I'm free

Every heart that I get on the road

I go and put them on a shelf

The road is hard that I'm traveling on

I got no room for someone else

Live every day just for makin' my way

I'm what you'd call a renegade

And like a bird I'm trapped

You've got my soul so open up this cage

I'm free

Don't you try to hold me

Now I'm running free
