Too many worries kinda paralyzing me Too many hurries got me down on my knees And I could see everybody going separate ways Too little courage - didn't say what I should say
Drowning in confusion I was feeling down so down It was a cry for help in vain Drinking my illusions I was spinning round and round Until the sun dried out the rain
(Chorus:) Now I'm free - free from all the pain Yes I'm free - and nothing stays the same Now I'm free - free from all those chains Yes I'm free now - free until the end
Lost in the glamour - it's a suicidal game Lost in the temples of some never ending fame At the end of the rainbow all the colours fade to gray Lost like an echo that is sure to die away
Stranded on an island I was feeling down so down Lord I felt so castaway My message in a bottle Was turning round and round Til Jesus came my way - he's here to stay
