In the days of my youth
I was so sure about my version of the truth
But that time has passed away
And I'm happy seeing only shades of grey
My only truth comes when I hear my guitar play

There were dreams but now they're gone
You just have to find the strength to carry on
I just believe in you and me
You and me, now, that's reality
So just relax and let the music set you free

You have been held captive just like me
Blind to all the things that you could be
Take my hand let's see what we can see
We just need to let ourselves be free

Every day I'm told what to do
And maybe all of that advice will work for you
But I need to find my own way
And I take another step toward that each day
While I let my guitar have its say

You have been held captive just like me
Blind to all the things that you could be
Take my hand let's see what we can see
We just need to let ourselves be free
