I used to pray to an idol, I don't do that anymore I used to bow down to a king, scrape my chin across the floor I used to be ruled by hatred, fear and jealousy I used to be ruled by all these things, but I never more will be I use to bow down to the bottle, to the holy cigarette I was a fool for money, wanted all that I could get I'd do anything for a woman, if I thought that she'd have me Now I've given up on all these things and finally I'm free Chorus: I'm free again, like I have been reborn It's a brand new day, in the early hours of morn And I'm walkin away, from the trouble I've been in I'm free again I was afraid to look inside, to see what I might find It might be worse than cancer, maybe I would lose my mind I kept myself distracted, I found a thousand ways I used to let them weigh me down, now I let them fall away As soon as I stop tryin, I nd an easy way Stop lookin for the future, start living for today I give up on perfection, start breathing easily And if I ever need an answer, I just look inside of me I don't need a banker, his silver and his gold I don't need to be young and thin, I'm happy growin old And lately I've been thinkin, there's hope for you and me ‘Cause maybe now I'm ready, to be all I can be Chorus and tag chorus
