Why do I feel so heavy, so weighed down?
I feel like my spirit is dragging the ground.

Why do I feel so bound up in chains
doing the same thing over and over again.

God says I'm free to live and to love
for He set me free with His precious blood.

So what is this that I hold on to?
That causes my heart to feel heavy and blue?

I cry out to God, "Please help me understand"
"Because dear child, you've listened to man!

I give you value that is beyond what you see
you are precious, because you belong to me.

I don't care what you wear, or even what you eat,
It's the love in your heart that binds you to me.

So I tell you now, to live, love and laugh,
I've given you this gift and I won't take it back.

You are my workmanship and always will be
from this day forward live as you are...Free!

Don't bind yourself t the ways of man
for the things of God, they don't understand

But love them and give, as I have to you
And one day, they will understand too!"
