So here I am
I come to you as a friend
With nothing left to spend
I still have plenty of wounds to mend

Say oh
I hold a message for you
Say oh
I hold a message

Won't you release me?
The tide is turning
Won't you release me?
My soul is burning
Well I saw love shot down
So I writhe in pain
Burn in the dust and dance in the rain
Release me
I never wanted it to be this way
Oh, release me
I never wanted it to be this way

So here I stand
And I'm doing the best that I can
Well I'm trying to hold it together
Hold it together again

Say oh
I hold a message for you
Say oh
I hold a message

Won't you release me?
The tide is turning
Won't you release me?
My soul is burning
Well I saw love shot down
So I writhe in pain
Burn in the dust and dance in the rain
Release me
I never wanted it to be this way
Won't you release me?
I never wanted it to be this way

I'm in prison in my mind and the blindingness of bad things passing through
And a revolution just would be feeling true despite all the things I do

Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?
Won't you release me?

Won't you release me?
The tide is turning
Won't you release me?
My soul is burning
Well I saw love shot down
So I writhe in pain
Burn in the dust and dance in the rain
Release me
I never wanted it to be this way
Won't you release me?
Release me
Oh, release me
Oh, release me
