Finding My Voice

You gave me no choice
You gave me no voice
But I'm not about to sing your caged bird melody

Cuz I'm free within
So pardon my sin
If I don't fit in the box you crafted just for me

And when you say you control out of love
There's no fear in love
Only fear in hate

And you claim your orders from above
You speak your mother tongue
In the lies that you perpetuate 

You gave me your crumbs
While licking your thumbs
As if I'd really be full from such a paltry meal

With the lion's share
You labeled it "fair"
Angry I won't settle for your empty "deal"

And your knowledge blinds you to the truth
It's not found in you
Oh, it never was

Open your heart to something new
That's bigger than you
Choose to live in love

You gave me no choice 
You gave me no voice
But I'm about to sing the song you feared the most

Search in your soul
Relinquish control
And see if its not better giving up the ghost

Illusions do not befit your mind
They leave you behind
Chasing after memories

But in truly seeking, you will find
Sight for the blind
And letting go, you'll find you're free
