Above Ground Lyrics

I was running away from the chain gang
Still afraid of the change
Can't deny this is better than ever
The missing piece that I am
Can't hold me down long
I'm stronger than I've been
Wasted too much time
In the place that I'm in

What a relief I feel now
It's what I believe
It's all that I've been through now
Has made me what I am

I no longer hide behind walls no more
No longer say words I don't mean no more
I no longer lie, no reason for
No longer pry, I don't need to know
Started fighting for air in your presence
No one could understand
To good too be true when it started
Wish I only knew then

You took control of me
Made me feel insecure
Could not do better
I believed in you
What a relief I feel now
It's what I believe
It's all that I've been through now
Has made me what I am

I no longer hide behind walls no more
No longer say words I don't mean no more
I no longer lie, no reason for
No longer pry, I don't need to know

No more running away
No more fear of pain
I am on my way
To a brighter day
