I’m locked inside my shadow, chains around my soul

Every thought a prison, sin has full control

I wander through the city, searching for a sign

A steeple in the distance whispers, maybe there’s a light

I step into the silence, the stained glass starts to glow

A voice says there’s a Savior, a God I’ve never known

Hands reach out to hold me, like I’m not beyond repair

They start to pray, I feel the weight lift in the air

I’m in a war inside my mind

Demons scream and angels rise

Every lie I used to love is breaking

Then a whisper cuts the night

“Come and follow, leave it all behind”

And I feel my heart awaken

The battle rages deeper, shadows try to stay

But every word they prayed for me keeps driving them away

I see a cross before me, bleeding through the dark

A gentle voice is calling, setting fire to my heart

Chains are falling, I can finally breathe

God steps in and fights for me

Sin defeated, death undone

Jesus says, “Child, come”

Chorus (Reprise)

I was in a war inside my mind

Till Heaven’s love rewrote my life

Every sin I used to serve is breaking

I hear the Savior call my name

“Come and follow, you are free today”

And I rise, my soul awakened

Now I walk in mercy, saved by holy blood

The sinner lost inside his mind now walks with God above

Every step I take I hear that voice again

“Come and follow me, my child… you’re finally home.”
