The common trap to use substances to hasten connection or intimacy brings a world of hurt, and eventually enlightenment, to this young woman.

Lyrics
VERSE 1
He hands the glass to me Im nearly twenty three
‘Bout time I had a man I just don’t understand
Why nice girls finish last Maybe that’s in the past
Or is he using me I’m too far gone to see

PRECHORUS
And freedom comes with every sip As inhibitions start to slip
and Words of waiting for “the one” Just drip away from mother’s lips oh

CHORUS
freedom freedom loose these chains
freedom freedom loose these chains
Don’t know where im going I’m just tired of being alone
freedom freedom loose these chains

VERSE 2
He hands the glass to me His secret recipe
One sip until the spell is cast And all my senses are fadin fast
He walks me down the hall he helps me, when I fall
I’m led outside and far away Tossed down just like a ragged doll

PRECHORUS
And freedom comes with every sip As inhibitions start to slip and
And choices that were meant for me are stripped away so greedily oh

CHORUS
When did freedom turn to chains When did freedom turn to chains
Don’t know where I’m going I just know I’m not alone
When did freedom turn to chains

BRIDGE
Back home I know my mother prays for me
Same time every day she’s on her knees
She goes to be with jesus for a while
Talks with Mary and with all the saints
“bless my children keep them safe
And pure and close to you today
And in their hearts please fill that empty space’

VERSE 3
Just then occurs to me I want these chains off me
If I could only find a way To clear my head and walk away

CHORUS
(When did freedom turn) oh bless me lord and keep me safe
(When did freedom turn) and pure and close to you today
(don’t know where im going I just…) Im not alone
(When did freedom turn) and in my heart please fill that empty space
