The first time I walked away
I felt the chains fall, I felt okay
There was no more weight, no more lies
Just open air, and clear blue skies
I didn’t know I could feel so light
Without you there, I found the night
Wasn’t as dark as I’d once thought
First taste of freedom, and I was caught
First taste of freedom, it felt so real
No more chains to bind or steal
I took a breath, I let it flow
First time I knew I could let go
First taste of freedom, I saw the light
The road was long, but it felt so right
I thought I’d miss you, thought I’d cry
But with my first taste of freedom, I learned to fly
The road ahead was mine to take
No more waiting for hearts to break
I found myself in that open space
First taste of freedom, I found my place
I didn’t know I could feel so light
Without you there, I found the night
Wasn’t as dark as I’d once thought
First taste of freedom, and I was caught
First taste of freedom, it felt so real
No more chains to bind or steal
I took a breath, I let it flow
First time I knew I could let go
First taste of freedom, I saw the light
The road was long, but it felt so right
I thought I’d miss you, thought I’d cry
But with my first taste of freedom, I learned to fly
I looked back, but the past was gone
I was free to walk alone
No more fear, no more pain
I was free in the pouring rain
First taste of freedom, it felt so real
No more chains to bind or steal
I took a breath, I let it flow
First time I knew I could let go
First taste of freedom, I saw the light
The road was long, but it felt so right
I thought I’d miss you, thought I’d cry
But with my first taste of freedom, I learned to fly
First taste of freedom, it set me free
Now I know what it means to be me.
