Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I run through this net
That baits me here tonight
Escapee heading for the unknown
A sole survivor of my family's plight
A man with nowhere I can call home
[Verse 2]
What does it mean to be free?
If I'm blind when will I see?
Is this what hell is meant to be?
Whoa, why won't they let me be?
[Verse 3]
The gunfire caused this ring in my ears
And the shell-shock, it makes me
I struggle now to hold back my tears
I'm weak but my life I have kept
[Verse 4]
What does it mean to be free?
If I'm blind when will I see?
Is this what hell is meant to be?
Whoa, why won't they let me be?
[Verse 5]
What does it mean to be free?
If I'm blind when will I see?
Is this what hell is meant to be?
Whoa, why won't they let me be?
Whoa, why won't they let me be?
