lyrics

Love Will Set Me Free

I have ridden every sad & lonely highway
Searched for truth but never found the key
Known the rain of dark & empty places
But I still believe that love will set me free.

I've been blinded by the lights of lonesome cities
Been swallowed by the nights I could not see
I have heard the sad farewell of lovers leaving
But I still believe that love will set me free.

I have known the truth that words not stones will hurt me
Been driven by those words down to my knees
Lain awake through aching hours of my hurting
But I still believe that love will set me free.

Chorus
And I believe in god above
As I believe in eternal love
But there's days it takes me all my strength to pray
And I believe in god above
As I believe in eternal love
And I'll find it in this wicked world some day.

I've had my heart beaten blue and broken
Lived inside myself but never found a me
Mourned lovers like another who was grieving
But I still believe that love will set me free.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

I've been saved by saints & sometimes lost to demons
Been the best & worst of men that I could be
I've loved & lost until I'm dazed and bleeding
But I still believe that love will set me free
Yes, I still believe that love will set me free
Yes, I still believe that love will set me free.
