Used to be a pris'ner in a cell The lonely world aroun' me was my jail I was chained to loneliness Locked away from happiness That's the way it used to be But now I'm free Glory, halleluja, free at last From the pain and sorrow of the past One sweet day you came along Now the chains an' bars are gone Thank the Lord you found the key An' set me free
One day you found me Shackled there behind Prison walls of loneliness Too high for me to climb An' now I'm free One sweet day you came along Now the chains an' bars are gone Thank the Lord you found the key An' set me free Set me free Na-na na-na na na na-na-na Na-na na-na na na na-na-na Na-na na-na na na na-na-na
