CHORUS

I am not happy, I am not free

Gonna break these chains that are binding me

I am not happy free, I am not free

Will I ever be?

I feel my heart race

I feel myself running

I feel my pockets

I'm looking for money

A stranger in the night

What will happen to me

I dream of happiness

But why can't I be?

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I pretend I'm not alone

I pretend I am back at home

I'm gonna cut loose

Gotta get away clean

Help me escape

From my captivity

I cry when I rise

Water surrounding me

Now I understand

It's not up to me

Will it ever be?

CHORUS

I wake up dreaming

I cannot sleep

I reach out to touch it

But it escapes me

I hope for another

Opportunity

Because I'm not happy

I am not free

The story behind the song

Inspired by my step daughter and a poem she wrote while in middle school. Boy does my voice sound bad here but it’s the only recording I have of this song and I really like. There are many more lyrics to this one below.
