In darkness I see the dimming of the light,
My heart keeps fighting to bring it through to bright,
These aching lungs must burst out full with air,
And wrench out poison and wrench out dispair.
We all must see some of the pain this life can bring
But energy can delight my soul and keep me burning free, oh free
Burning free.
I see the world through my window pane,
My eyes, my ears, my universe my chains,
But I know the links that we all must find,
To share life, share love, share your soul and your mind.
We all must see some of the pain this life can bring
But energy can delight my soul and keep me burning free, oh free
Keep me burning free.
