They wanted to break my back, wanted to hold me back from beeing free
they had a part for me in society, but that wasn't me
they gave me an early start, when they broke my heart i needed to see
that if i wanted to be myself i couldnt be myself without me!

so here i am!
i stepped out!
to be free!

'cause with all that's left inside of me, with my back against the wall
i can still decide what's best for me, i can still say all i want
"now that im free!"

i needed to learn the truth, i had to find my own destiny
evrybody would pass me by, i couldnt pacify the urge in me!
cause i was given wings to fly, that i was meant to try can't you see
that if i wanted to be myself i couldnt be myself without me!

so here i am!
i stepped out!
to be free!

'cause with all that's left inside of me, with my back against the wall
i can still decide what's best for me, i can still stay in control
now that im free!

you didn't think that i would try
you never knew what's on my mind
you didn't think I'd really try to be more than this!?
i had to live in agony
i knew you're looking down on me
but i always knew that i would be so much more than this!

'cause with all that's left inside of me, with my back against the wall
i can still decide what's best for me, i can still say all i want!
"now that im free
