I said I belong to You
But in a secret room, I kept a secret list
I said, "Anything for You"
"Anything but this, anything but this"
You knew it all along
You knew it very well
You knew the sturdy walls I hid behind
Were nothing but a prison cell
I am not afraid anymore
You have opened all the windows
Opened all the doors
I am not afraid anymore
I feel the wind of freedom like I never did before
The light is filling up the corners
Dancing on the floor
I am not afraid anymore
You have always been the same
I ran away from You
I ran away from You
Every time You called my name
I tried to hide the truth
I tried to hide the truth
You knew it all along
You knew it very well
You knew the more I covered up my heart
The more I didn't know myself
I am not afraid anymore
You have opened all the windows
Opened all the doors
I am not afraid anymore
I feel the wind of freedom like I never did before
The light is filling up the corners
Dancing on the floor
I am not afraid anymore
No room for fear
No room, no room
No room for fear
Perfect love is living here
I am not afraid anymore
You have opened all the windows
Opened all the doors
I am not afraid anymore
I feel the wind of freedom like I never did before
The light is filling up the corners
Dancing on the floor
I am not afraid anymore
