Lyrics
Let me go please let me go
I pulled him back inside
Let me go, please let me go
His request had been denied
I committed the crime of being born
Now life is the price that I pay
Pain and sadness are all I'm gonna see
If I chose to stay
So let me go please let me go
I pulled him back inside
Let me go please let me go
His request had been denied
My mind is a prison
My body, steel bars
I have unanswered questions
When I look up to the stars
So let me go please let me go
I pulled him back inside
Let me go please please let me go
His request had been denied
I want to be
I want to be free
I want to be
I want to be.......................... free
I tried so hard to set him free
His own shackles he chose
He took his own life, one night, quietly
Well I guess that's the way that it goes
So I let him go, I let him go
I tried oh how I tried
I let him go, Yes I let him go
But I stayed back and cried
You can't make anybody see
Things they just can't see
You can't make anybody want to live
When they're dying to be free
So I let him go, I let him go
I tried oh how I tried
I let him go, Yes I let him go
And I stayed back and cried
