Free from Prison

I was free from prison today And all the while I had seen the sun on my face But this was the first time it shined down on me I asked the taxi man to take me home Still not quite sure where I'm going But I got free from prison today Today's the day I lost that ball and chain Never knew how heavy or cumbersome it was Till I could run so light and fast and free I never thought I'd walk again Carrying around all my sins But today's the day I lost that ball and chain Life is scary, all the opportunities The possibilities seem infinite When they're handed to you on a silver plate You can't say, "no thanks, I'll just wait" It'll pass you by, you have to seize the day Today's the day I rewrite history All my sad, sad stories A life of misery Now that's gone and the world is mine to see Still not knowing where that road is But I'm going to stop and smell the roses Today's the day I rewrite history Today's the day I rewrite history
