Who's that talking? I heard someone speak to me |
|
It came from within, a voice that's crying to be free |
|
But I'm a puppet and that is all |
|
My life's the strings and that's all |
|
Free me |
|
I want to live my life as it was planned |
|
I want to take my Father's hand |
|
And I want to know forgiveness |
|
I want to start again |
|
Oh take away these strings |
|
And set me free |
|
How can this be, tell me what is happening |
|
'Cause I'm just a puppet, I tied myself into these strings |
|
That weave their silk around my life |
|
And lead me on, and that is all |
|
Free me |
|
I want to live my life as it was planned |
|
I want to take my Father's hand |
|
And I want to know forgiveness |
|
I want to start again |
|
Oh take away these strings |
|
And set me free |
|
But if I cut my strings surely I'll only fall down |
|
What manner of joke's this, a puppet changed into a clown? |
|
Don't jest with me I know my place and here I'll stay |
|
To strings I'm tied therefore a puppet I must be |
|
I'll only move when my strings pull that part of me |
|
And that is all |
|
Free me |
|
I want to live my life as it was planned |
|
I want to take my Father's hand |
|
Step into the promised land |
|
I want to learn to dance, yes I do |
|
Happy ever after is the way I'm going to be |
|
When I let your love come into me |
|
The masks of grief and laughter you'll take away from me |
|
And from these strings you'll forever |
|
Free me |
|
I want to live my life as it was planned |
|
I want to take my Father's hand |
|
And I want to know forgiveness |
|
I want to start again |
|
Oh take away these strings |
|
Free me, I want to live my as it was planned |
|
And so that I can stand |
|
I want to take my Fathers hand |
|
And step into the promised land |
|
I'm going to learn to dance, yes I am |
