Chains of the Past

[Verse 1]
I grew up in a house on a hill,
Where the fields stretched wide and still.
Never thought twice 'bout the world outside,
Till I saw her face, and the tears she cried.
[Verse 2]
She was bound by chains I couldn't see,
Her silence was louder than words to me.
I reached out a hand, broke her free,
And in her eyes, I found who I could be.
[Chorus]
She taught me love, she taught me grace,
To see the world in a whole new place.
I let go of the man I used to be,
And spent my life setting both of us free.
[Verse 3]
She told me stories of pain and fear,
Of a life where freedom was nowhere near.
I held her close, swore to stand tall,
To tear down the walls, to answer the call.
[Bridge]
Now the fields I own don’t just bear crops,
They hold the dreams where her pain stops.
We built a life on equal ground,
Her laughter's the sweetest song I've found.
[Chorus]
She taught me love, she taught me grace,
To see the world in a whole new place.
I let go of the man I used to be,
And spent my life setting both of us free.
