No Freedom Lyrics

They told me this was my vision
Then they told me that this was my wall
They told me these were my wishes
That once I'd used them, that was all

They told me this was my free mind
They told me it was my right
They said don't burden yourself
With the things that do not please you.
You are the center of your sight.

(Chorus)
There's a river runnin' deeper
A softer wind that sings his song
There's freedom with no promise of heaven
That's no freedom at all.

They told me any road's a winner
The future is mine to tell
They said when I sit down for dinner
That I should only thank myself

They told me "Jesus" was a bad word
And that religion was a chain
They told me prayer was a one-man conversation
And God was someone I could blame

(Chorus)

I could use my heart to scratch the surface
Search beyond the cynical
Cause livin' life for my own selfish purpose
Well, that's not livin' at all

That's why I'm diggin' deeper
And I'm listenin' hard to hear His song
Cause freedom with no promise of heaven
Well, that's no freedom at all

Cause freedom with no promise of heaven
Well, that's no freedom at all

No freedom at all.
