I used to pray to an idol, I don’t do that anymore

I used to bow down to a king, scrape my chin across the floor

I used to be ruled by hatred, fear and jealousy

I used to be ruled by all these things, but I never more will be

I use to bow down to the bottle, to the holy cigarette

I was a fool for money, wanted all that I could get

I’d do anything for a woman, if I thought that she’d have me

Now I’ve given up on all these things and finally I’m free

Chorus:

I’m free again, like I have been reborn

It’s a brand new day, in the early hours of morn

And I’m walkin away, from the trouble I’ve been in

I'm free again

I was afraid to look inside, to see what I might find

It might be worse than cancer, maybe I would lose my mind

I kept myself distracted, I found a thousand ways

I used to let them weigh me down, now I let them fall away

As soon as I stop tryin, I nd an easy way

Stop lookin for the future, start living for today

I give up on perfection, start breathing easily

And if I ever need an answer, I just look inside of me

I don’t need a banker, his silver and his gold

I don’t need to be young and thin, I’m happy growin old

And lately I’ve been thinkin, there’s hope for you and me

‘Cause maybe now I’m ready, to be all I can be

Chorus and tag chorus
