*Hear my cries, my shouts, my pain
Hear the stories, the tales, the shame
Hear what it is I have to say
And know the difference one day
Been to hell and back you know
Still reaping all the seeds sowed
Still struggling to be free
And struggling to be me
So hear my words and listen close
Everything is right beneath your nose
Open your eyes and reach out
For I've erased all hidden doubt
The time has come and is now
To be rid of the taboo and vow
To be free of the wails
And stop the string of fails
Call me now, my friend, my lover
And see the freedom o'er me hovers
I'll not submit
I'll not commit
I'll not fall down
Or wear the thorn crown
The past will stay there
And I will stay here
Freedom from the stains
I'm taking on the reins
I'm guiding my own life
For now I see the light*
