Tyranny - Ginny Owens

I used to perch upon the fence

Just to watch it all

Never get involved

Just watch it all

I never overstepped my boundaries

I let others be

And spent my time taking care of me

I used to hold on to

A very passive point of view

And it served me well enough for quite awhile

But I grew weary wasting time

Trying to make the stars align

And these days that life’s just not my style

Chorus:

Cause I’m no longer the same

I’m no longer ashamed

I’m no longer afraid

Oh I’m breaking free

From the tyranny of me

Rescued from the lies I’ve lived

I belong to you

How can I lose if I say what’s true

Even in this age of spin

Why should I pretend

And spend my life trying to fit in

I’ve sold my soul before

But that won’t happen anymore

Vying for love or being nice

Thought I was in control

But I was such a slave, you know

Till you came and saved my life

You’ve loved me

You’ve known me

You’ve freed me

Now you own me
