I've seen your dreams get broken, I've heard your words unspoken,
And sometimes hope is laying low, hidden in the ashes left after the fire.

In my heart I see you run free, like a river down to the sea,
All the chains that hold you down will be in pieces on the ground,
You'll drink the rain, and ride the wind to me.

I've seen a faithless lover take you down to deep water,
And I have watched a fragile wing, tangled up in longings, get broken in a struggle.

In my heart I see you run free, like a river down to the sea,
All the chains that hold you down will be in pieces on the ground,
You'll drink the rain, and ride the wind to me.

Someday your tears will turn to diamonds,
With a kiss, you'll wake to see that you're strong at the broken places,
I know, someday, you'll go free.

Oh, sinner.

In my heart I see you run free, like the child you were meant to be,
All the chains that held you down will be in pieces on the ground,
Kiss the rain, and ride the wind to me.
