I'm stirring awake a fury
Verse: 2
Dm C
Maybe I'm the only one who survived

Crawled out of the dark and into the light

A tear in my eye is forming
Pre-Chorus:
G
Shaking off all those heavy chains

Now I will find my own way
[Refrão]

Turning the ground underneath me to show what I am

When they try to lay me low

Down into the dirt I go
But don't fight it

They were just giving me
C G
The very thing I would need
Verse: 4
Dm C
Try to tell me what I can and cannot do

Who to be and do not be
It'll drive me to the brink

Any dead ended road
G
One step closer to home

Shaking off all those heavy chains

Now I will find my own way
