[Verse]
Left my roots in the red dirt clay
Tender dreams packed in a frayed suitcase
Guyana’s skies
They held my gaze
But the wind whispered
"Go
Go away"
[Prechorus]
The city lights promised gold
But they were cold
So cold
[Chorus]
I tried
I fell
I broke
I bled
Chasing freedom in my head
Heartache sang me lullabies
In a land of concrete skies
I just wanna be free
Oh
Let me be free
[Verse 2]
Love knocked hard
Then slipped away
Left me holding echoes of yesterday
I built and broke
A thousand walls
But every climb felt like a fall
[Prechorus]
The mirror cracked
Showed my scars
But I’m still reaching for the stars
[Chorus]
I tried
I fell
I broke
I bled
Chasing freedom in my head
Heartache sang me lullabies
In a land of concrete skies
I just wanna be free
Oh
Let me be free
