From the recording Spirit's Free
I know many people who have been abused as children but who have over come and become happy successful people. This is their story
Lyrics
I'm not a fugitive
I'm not running from the things you did to me
I've got no apology to give
No reason to feel guilty
I'm not imprisoned by your crimes
I'm not going to do the time
I'm not a shrine to the pain
No I've left it behind
I was your victim once but I'll never again be victimized
I don't share the blame
I'm not going to where the shame
You tried to steal my soul
But I've got a strength that you will never know
My spirit is free
My spirit is free
I'm not a poster child I'm not going to be defined
You tried to own my heart and my soul
But now I'm taking back what's mine
I've got my life to live
I've got so much more to give
You tried to steal my soul
But I've got a strength that you will never know
My spirit is free
My spirit is free
I'm going to be somebody
I'm going to bring some good into this world
You tried to steal my soul
But I've got a strength that you will never know
My spirit is free
My spirit is free
You tried to defeat me but you're never going to beat me
My heart's at peace and my minds at ease
And you'll never take that away from me
No you'll never take that away from me
My spirit is free
My spirit is free
