Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There is a world outside
So why do I hide
When You tell me I am free?
I see the open door
Yeah, I know there's more
But I've been too scared to leave
But I'm ready now
I'm letting go
I'm leaving all the prisons I have known
I follow You
'Cause I believe
It's time to start living
Living like I'm free-ee
I'm not gonna let the past keep holding me-ee
No matter what tomorrow brings
I'm never going back again
I'm only looking up ahead
I hear You telling me
It's time to start living like I'm free
Living like I'm free
Living like I'm free, ooh-oh
You called me from this mess
You put my fear to rest
I am not locked up anymore
You are the reason why
I'm coming back to life
All of my chains are on the floor
I follow You
'Cause I believe
It's time to start living
Living like I'm free-ee
I'm not gonna let the past keep holding me-ee
No matter what tomorrow brings
I'm never going back again
I'm only looking up ahead
I hear You telling me
It's time to start living like I'm free
Living like I'm free
Living like I'm free
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's time to start living like I'm free
Living like I'm free (Oh)
Living like I'm free
Fear and insecurity
They were never meant for me
I'm enough in Your love
I am free in Your love, oh-ohh
Oh, yeah, yeah
It's time to start living
Living like I'm free-ee
I'm not gonna let the past keep holding me-ee (Me, oh)
No matter what tomorrow brings
I'm never going back again (Never going back)
I'm only looking up ahead
I hear You telling me (Yeah, hey, telling me)
It's time to start living like I'm free
Living like I'm free
Living like I'm free
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's time to start living like I'm free (Ah)
Living like I'm free (Living like I'm free)
Living like I'm free
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, mm
