	Story Behind the Song With this song, I deliberately set out to write an opening track. It started out about a possessive girlfriend, but the evolved into something more general. Lyrics I wanna fly away into the bright blue sky. I wanna spread the wings that take me up so high. No harm in dreaming but a dream can disappear without a trace, so seize the moment while you can because a dream can be replaced. You wanna tie me up, into captivity. You wanna hold me back, although eventually I’ll break the ropes and cast aside the chains while walking out the door, and like the phoenix from the ash I’ll rise up stronger than before. A life cannot be bought and sold, nor can a person be controlled. On this, at least, we must agree. Too much at stake to compromise, perhaps, someday, you’ll realize. If you really love me, Set Me Free. Don’t wanna hear about my selfishness again. Don’t wanna hear you lie and say you are my friend. Don’t try your guilt trips, ‘cause I’ve done my best accommodating you. Don’t get me wrong, I aim to please, but, then, I’ve got my own life, too. A life cannot be bought and sold, nor can a person be controlled. On this, at least, we must agree. Too much at stake to compromise, perhaps, someday, you’ll realize. If you really love me, Set Me Free. We can’t go back and make amends with yesterday, so for tomorrow’s sake, I’ll fight to get my way. (instrumental of chorus) So while I have a chance, I’ll make my destiny. And while I’m not a sage, I know what’s right for me. So many people tried to run my life, but now control is mine. At last, my moment in the sun has come, and now’s my chance to shine. A life cannot be bought and sold, nor can a person be controlled. On this, at least, we must agree. Too much at stake to compromise, perhaps, someday, you’ll realize. If you really love me, Set Me Free. The locks and chains must be replaced with understanding, trust, and grace. It’s now or never, can’t you see? Don’t let the past distort your view. The future’s ours to start anew. So show me you love me, Set Me Free.
