In the beginning
you shone a brand
new limelight on me
I came out of darkness,
I came out of any vicious company
You drew me aside,
so satisfied with my pliancy
Free my soul tied
But don't you pass me by,
now that I believe
You're here to stay
So many times I've been trying
to make it real

I cannot say "I loved",
for who can say
he was shot yesterday?
So I keep my soul aside,
upon this tide,
afraid of my decay
May not be now,
but still somehow
you'll let me slip away

Years go by,
I know myself a little more
As I go, I know you more
than you'll ever know

Free my soul
