I'll Make Freedom Mine

It’s all your fault

You’re the reason I cry

Even though I tried so hard

Even though I warned my self

I ignored the voice of my heart

And now I ignore its cries of pain

Your dungeon is what keeps me down

My modesty keeps the tears in place

I keep a smile for a smile

But the everlasting frown stays

And in the time you had me caged

My dreams of freedom always fade

But now I know that ropes can burn

I somehow feel your chains will break

And the day I make freedom mine

I’ll say “yesterday, I left you behind:”
