You say to me that you are free
Yet you take the apple from the tree
Your sins won't cover all your shame
Your freedom is your ball and chain

I said he died to set you free
Your sins he nailed upon a tree
No fame no shame your soul to gain
Your freedom is your ball and chain

The son is rising
The son is rising
Darling reach back to him
Before this day is ended
Cause pain is deep within you
And shame is in your hands now

He's all around you
He's all around you
Don't throw your hand
Cause time is ever fleeting
And souls in hell are screaming

Temptation brings you back again
Your feelings justify your sin
Your faith to you is just a game
Your freedom is your ball and chain

I said he died to set you free
Your sins he nailed upon a tree
No fame no shame
Your freedom is your ball and

Darling reach back to him
Before this day is ended
Cause pain is deep within you
And shame is in your hands now

He's all around you
He's all around you
Don't throw your hand
Cause time is ever fleeting
And souls in hell are screaming

And on a hillside stands outside of time
A mother holds her lifeless child
Who gives himself on calvary
And we who live today still curse the man
Whose blood was shed for all to see
And we say we're free
