Freedom Rings Brandy

[Verse 1]
Can't fly when the world says "Anchor down"
No joy till the camera flashed
No smiles till the camera asked
They love it when your demons hang around
They hang around
And I believe in a space to breathe, air is running out

Something that I lost at last just found me

(Time) but you wanted more, I invested these years, these tears that I
(Cried) you're concrete, but I rose like a rose, Lord knows that I almost
(Died) they tried to chain me, estrange me, run away declaring my freedom rings
