To be Free

I have a story,
It’s waiting to tell, I wish I knew
How it would end,
What my life will lead me to.

You turn the pages, reading ahead,
Do you feel joy, or a tinge of dread?
Is my ending happy, or bittersweet?
Will I find peace when your gaze retreats?

Losing loved ones, it burns my soul,
My vision blurs, and so does yours.
A victory, it should feel bright,
But in your eyes, I see the night.
You miss someone who's said goodbye,

And I wonder what it’s like…To be free,

When your story’s not laid bare for all to see.
When your choices shape tomorrow,
And you can finally breathe.
To take the reins, to break the chains,
To live a life that’s truly yours to claim.
To be free,
Is that what you see in me?

You turn away, a shadow in your eye,
It’s safe to say, I’ve let you down, I can’t deny.
I’m sorry for the pain I couldn’t stop or mend,
I tried my best, but now it’s too late to pretend.
I’m left alone—please don’t let this be the end.
I need you now, more than ever, my friend.

Losing loved ones, it burns my soul,
My vision blurs, and so does yours.
A victory, it should feel bright,
But in your eyes, I see the night.
You miss someone who's said goodbye,

And I wonder what it’s like…To be free,

When your story’s not laid bare for all to see.
When your choices shape tomorrow,
And you can finally breathe.
To take the reins, to break the chains,
To live a life that’s truly yours to claim.
To be free,
Is that what you see in me?

But as the pages turn and fade,
I feel the weight of every choice I’ve made.
Though I can’t change what’s written here,
Your presence makes the ending clear.

To be free,
When your story’s not laid bare for all to see.
When your choices shape tomorrow,
And you can finally breathe.
To take the reins, to break the chains,
To live a life that’s truly yours to claim.
To be free,
Maybe that's what you'll find in me.

I have a story, it’s ready to tell,
And in your hands, it might end well.
