I close my eyes and sing Release my arms and swing I refuse to hold it in I won't be silenced anymore Now I won't be silenced anymore I close my eyes and sing I was born into an illusion Has me wrapped up and contained Has me measured and explained But I won't accept this path Has me rushing towards my death I open up and let it ring... And I close my eyes and sing This act is my rebellion To keep my soul alive In the wavering of times I close my eyes and sing They say we fight for our survival Well I fight to love the world I fight to feel the mystery Behind every living thing I tell you it's not easy I fall back into their stories That I do not measure up Oh no no, free me from my mind Open up and let it ring Open up I close my eyes and sing This act is my rebellion To keep my soul alive In the wavering of times I close my eyes and sing Release my arms and swing Refuse to hold it in I close my eyes and sing This act is my rebellion To keep my soul alive In the wavering of times I close my eyes and sing
