no more chains

nichole nordeman

how did i get locked up inside?

what's this that renders me paralyzed?

i lost myself in small pieces

it happened over time

i traded love for a heavy chain

another link every other day

i pulled it up and down a mountain

it made me want to say?

no more chains

no more chains

big and small

watch them fall away

no more chains

big and small

watch them fall away

i wonder now if the choice was mine

the door was open

i walked inside

nobody had my arm twisted

nobody made me stay

the face of freedom can show up small

a tiny crack in a prison wall

a song that rises up from silence

a voice that wants to say?

i should let you give me wings

i should let you set me free
