Let me tell the story, the way it used to be You were one of a million people, I gave it to you my own liberty Turnin' back these pages, now I clearly see How you loved me whenever you wanted, but more than that you loved to be free
There's a voice in my heart and it's callin' me back to you But I can't go back, I must be free, break these chains in the name of Liberty! I gave it all to you my destiny, Oh liberty, I wish that you would take it back from me Liberty! I never promised you a guarantee, Oh liberty, you'll never know how much it means to me
As I read your letters, it's there in black and white I know you never meant to hurt me and in my heart I know that you're right And in this age of reason, I'll try to let it be I know anything can happen when it comes to liberty
There's a voice...
One day you'll remember, when you're no longer free When you're tied around somebody's finger You'll think about what you said to me...
