Lyrics

Untie me

Don’t let me be. Untie me.
Don’t let me be here all on my own.
Release the chain. Untie me.
Don’t let me be in these chains no more.
Release me of my shame,
release me of my pain.

Release me of my shame,
release me of my pain.
Release me out of this hole
and let me be ME again.
Release me of my shame,
release me of my pain.
Release me out – out of this hole
and let me be ME again.


Don’t hold me chained. Untie me.
Don’t let me be imprisoned here.
Don’t let me be tied up. Untie me.
Don’t let me be hidden, secretly put away.
Release me of my shame.
Release me of my pain.

Let me be myself again. Let me be on my own
But this time free you know. “Where do I go?”
Let me be me again. I choose where I go.
Through meadows, a city or through the woods.
Untie me and let me be.

I go in peace. I’m moving on now.
I go released. I go safely . I go.
