Was it loneliness that brought you here
   Broken and weak
   Was it tiredness that made you sleep
   Have you lost your will to speak
   Was the earth spinning round
   Were you falling through the ground
   As the world came tumbling down
   You prayed to God what have we done
  
   Free me from these chains I need to change my way
   Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away, far away, far away
  
   Was it emptiness that made you weep
   No more secrets to keep
   Was it bitterness that gave you time
   To forgive your sins
   Was the earth spinning round
   Were you falling through the ground
   As the world came tumbling down
   You prayed to God what have we done
  
   Free me from these chains I need to change my way
   Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away
   Free me from these thoughts long forgotten down below
   Take these angel’s words give them life to carry on, carry on, carry on
   Free me from these chains...
