I ran away while cutting the cord
So many rules and I was bored
All the worldly things I craved
Being deprived meant being saved
I need a life with freedom to live
Not love, obey, repent and forgive
Once I found myself in society
All I had wanted came so easily
The glamerous life had me in awe
With what I heard, felt and saw
Then one day my world came undone
Freedom wasn't free nor was it fun
Lessons worth learning cause pain
To make life worth living, obstain
I'm alone here battered and bruised
Not a single part of me wasn't used
Let my last breath be my last prayer
Dear Lord, I can't survive out there
I'm not worthy, but I'm on my knees
I need your love and begging please
Then I heard the whisper I once knew
Oh child, I never stopped loving you
