Where are the chains
That keep holding me down in my life
Who holds the key
To unlock all the doors in my mind
No one came to rescue me
I don't want to wait for a sign
I take my leave from all I've known
And fly out into the divine
Free as the wind
Onwards I sail
King of my world
King for a day
Where is the love
I've been searching for all of the time
Who is the God
That just keeps me from heaven to find
On and on and on I hear myself
Cry for redemption (Let me go)
I walk the line and I will waste no time
I'm free, I am me after all
Free as the wind
Onwards I sail
King of my world
King for a day
I am free as the wind
Onwards I sail
King of my world
King for a day
I am free as the wind
And on and on, on and on I sail
In my great white hall I'm leaving all,
I'll be forever
