Free Me

I see it all before me
My hands are restless, worn out
My days and nights are torment, a world of misery
The bonds of retribution
Now laid so carefully
I cannot shed my pain so easily
My spirit's broken
No will to live
My body's all aching, my hands are tied
I need my freedom
Not your sympathy
Look, you need and love me
Just set me free
Come on, set me free
Set me free
Is there a way out for me?
I kneel before you helpless
Is there somebody out there to take a chance on me?
I don't pretend to virtue
I don't ask anything
But if you want to help me, my freedom's everything
My spirt's broken
No will to live
My body's all aching, my hands are tied
If you want to help me
Please tell me if you can
What good is retribution without a helping hand?
I need my freedom
Not your sympathy
Look, you need and love me
