Soul be free - not chained in any way be petty jealousy
Soul be free - not bound in any way by selfishness or greed
The bonds that were formed over the years suddenly so flimsy and weak
So did they ever exist?
I just watched as my life was criticized so I could judge who had my happiness in mind
My best interest isn't your best interest
Count me out if I'm to serve you further
My best interest isn't your best interest
Let me out if it's that one-sided
Let them do what they do and make a list
Check it out and see what friends amount to shit
I want the best for the souls that are close to me
I won't stand in the way of their happiness
I want the best for the souls that are dear to me
I won't stand in the way of their freedom, their calling, their destiny
