I woke up, I mean really woke up yesterday
And I cried and I cried and I cried and I cried
The sorrow and bitterness of 25 years had left me
And I was free, really free

For so long I concealed everything away
Trying to steel my courage but truly terrified
But now the fear has left me and love has filled its place
And I am free, really free

When we are children we believe in magic
Because it feels good to believe
And no evidence or circumstance or lack of confidence
Can shake our faith

My heart is overflowing where once was empty
My feelings overwhelm me where I used to be numb
I see all that I need is in my heart
And I am free, really free
