I feel I'm losing ground and starting to slip.
I drive with no steering wheel and lose my grip.
There are still so many things I have to discover.
I wander through the abyss like no other.

I don't know if I've found what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for the way that it was before.
I'm looking for youthful freedom and innocence.
The freedom of my heart and never-ending complacence.

I want to feel free to be who I want to be.
There is no one I want to be other than me.
I want to unlock the chains that surround my heart.
And be free again like it was in the start.

I'm gonna be free again, and will be free soon.
I'm gonna stand up and sing to a different tune.
Life's too mundane and there has to be something ahead.
There will not be anymore days I am gonna dread.

Life's too short to live in depression and despair.
I am going to be free again, the way it oughta be.
I have much farther to go and I need to keep movin'.
I am locked up in myself and there is so much I'm losin'.
