A Life That Binds

I’ve been walking the line
Following a life that binds
You taught me freedom comes
When you release conviction
Commands to live a life
Never learning what’s inside
I’ve been saved by birthright
Quit pretending
To understand me
Doubt has consumed me
I can’t escape it
I’ve been walking the line
Following a life that binds
You taught me freedom comes
When you release conviction
Commands to live a life
Never learning what’s inside
I’ve been saved by birthright
Quit pretending
To understand me
Doubt has consumed me
I can’t escape it
I am starting to question why
They say believe just because they know it’s right
Pick up your head and don’t bother asking why
I will not be convinced this time
Give me a chance to question what is right
Will blind obedience accommodate
A soul that never knew the gates?
I’ve been saved by birthright
Quit pretending
To understand me
Doubt has consumed me
I can’t escape it
