A song about freedom you already have but haven't walked in yet: holding the key while still wearing the lock. Grace breaks the chains, the debt of shame is paid, and the past can whisper all it wants. You are not your worst day.
Chains Don't Hold Me lyrics
I kept the key but wore the lock Called it fate and named it stuck Then grace walked in with bolt-cut hands Said, Stand up, son, and be a man I dragged my shame like sacred debt You paid it off; I can forget Chains don’t hold me—name it, gone Past can whisper; I move on If I stumble, I won’t hide Truth will meet me where I slide Old temptations text my phone Offer comfort, leave me lone I won’t buy what kept me numb Freedom tastes like kingdom come I’m not my worst day or my pride I’m marked by holes in holy sides Chains don’t hold me—name it, gone Past can whisper; I move on If I stumble, I won’t hide Truth will meet me where I slide Chains don’t hold me—name it, gone Chains don’t hold me—name it, gone I’m walking out at break of dawn If I stumble, I won’t hide Truth will meet me where I slide
