It feels like the shackles are finally breaking
I stumble as I feel my world start shaking
The weight of the past has just been lifted
Who I was and who am now feels like my life has shifted
My head is held with pride and passion
My heart restored with God's compassion
Though I fall short at times
It seems he's forgiven me for my crimes
My smile no longer seems faked
I stand firm even after the ground quaked.
