Freedom
"Freedom"
When I'm still inside, I hear the cries for freedom
I feel the longing for release from a thousand kinds of prison
Prisons of iron bars, prisons inside the human heart
Chorus: All I know is that walking with Christ
Is the way to freedom (2 times)
All I know is that walking with Christ
Sets the prisoners free
I can see the chains, systems of selfishness and greed
Generations bound; vice grips of grinding poverty
Sweatshops and crack house streets, 21st century slavery
Chorus:
Bridge: I've seen prisoners locked in chains of addiction
Longing for freedom; for the strength to let go and walk away
And there've been times when I've longed for the freedom of forgiveness
To be loved with a love so big that all my guilt would just wash away,
wash away, wash away
Chorus:
