Let Freedom Rain

Let freedom ring, let freedom sing,

A journey starts with hope,

I’m rising from the shadows,

On this road to cope.

A case manager listens,

As I lay my soul bare,

The probation officer’s notified,

I’m ready to declare.

No more bitter nights,

In the dark, I was lost,

But now I see the light,

I’m ready for the cost.

Let me free to go home,

To Houston, Texas skies,

An angel on great wings,

I’ll rise, oh how I’ll rise!

Let freedom rain over me,

Let the past be washed away,

I’m not a victim anymore,

I’m a survivor today!

With each step I take,

One milestone at a time,

I conquer every pier,

Life's a mountain I can climb.

Recovery’s the journey,

In every breath I find,

The strength to move ahead,

No longer bound and blind.

I walk this road unbroken,

With courage in my heart,

From the ashes, I am rising,

I’m ready for a fresh start.

Let me free to go home,

To Houston, Texas skies,

An angel on great wings,

I’ll rise, oh how I’ll rise!

Let freedom rain over me,

Let the past be washed away,

I’m not a victim anymore,

I’m a survivor today!

With each step I take,

One milestone at a time,

I conquer every pier,

Life's a mountain I can climb.

From the struggles and the pain,

I’ve forged my own way,

Through storms and through the fire,

I’ve found my brighter day.

No chains can hold me down,

My spirit's wild and free,

I wear my scars like badges,

They tell my victory.

Let freedom ring, let freedom sing,

As I take each stride,

I’m walking in my power,

With hope as my guide.

Let my dream unfold,

In Houston’s warm embrace,

Let the road of recovery,

Lead me to my place.
