(Verse 1)
Good morning, God, another day begins
With a battle line drawn between the Spirit and my sins
This flesh is fighting, it's got a hold I know
A sweet escape they call it, but it just won't let me go
I chase the feeling, but the shadow starts to grow
And my defenses crumble when the toxin begins to flow
(Pre-Chorus)
It whispers secrets, drives me into the dark
Torn between the world and the truth that leaves its mark
I see the trap now, feel the chain around my soul
I need a hammer, God, to make myself whole.
(Chorus)
Unshackled, yeah, I'm breaking free
From the chains that the deceiver puts on me
No more hiding, no more shame, the fight is done
I'm your child, forgiven, I'm the walking, chosen son
This tug-of-war is over, I'm not of this world, you see
Unshackled, yeah, I'm finally free!
(Verse 2)
The bitter taste of letting go, separating from the lie
It was a monster, God, beneath a clear blue sky
Now cleanse this temple, wash the venom from my veins
No withdrawal, just your grace, to rise above the rains
I slipped again, let the old nature take the lead
But your forgiveness hits faster than the planting of a seed
No condemnation waiting, you decide before I fall
Your blood covers the moment, you're answering the call.
(Pre-Chorus)
He wants me shackled, whispers that I can't be fixed
He wants me guilty, in the moment I exist
But I hear your voice, telling me to rise above the fray
Gonna put on the full armor and walk with you today.
(Chorus)
Unshackled, yeah, I'm breaking free
From the chains that the deceiver puts on me
No more hiding, no more shame, the fight is done
I'm your child, forgiven, I'm the walking, chosen son
This tug-of-war is over, I'm not of this world, you see
Unshackled, yeah, I'm finally free!
(Bridge)
I love you, God, I was too wrapped up to see
My heart wasn't here, but now you're walking next to me
He's angry that I broke free so easily, I know
So I'll stay alert and sober, watch where my footsteps go.
Let's walk together today, you and me
Keep my focus on the kingdom, and the truth will set me free.
(Guitar Solo - Energetic, driving, with a melancholic, soaring lead)
(Chorus)
Unshackled, yeah, I'm breaking free
From the chains that the deceiver puts on me
No more hiding, no more shame, the fight is done
I'm your child, forgiven, I'm the walking, chosen son
This tug-of-war is over, I'm not of this world, you see
Unshackled, yeah, I'm finally free!
(Outro)
Walk with me, Son... (Fade out with final distorted chord)
