Redemption

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have,
Redemption songs
_Bob Marley, Redemption song.
Redemption.
It gets heavier by the day; the eyes
The liquid within them; the tears
They've been there since we were born
But we've held them in for so long
How much longer can we last
Enslaved by our minds and thoughts and hurts
We're damaged from the depths
Broken from beneath
But not quite
There's that tiny bit of hope in our will
The drop that creates the way
That instinct for survival
Truth is, we'll never be fully unchained
But we can be redeemed
By that drop, that dream
That desperation for saneness
When we go down in chains
We'll still have that hope for freedom
That tiny space between the chain and the wrist
That bit of redemption.
