Open road, no one stopped you from trying,

To lose your load, to find your silver lining.

You left my side, 'cause mother let you run and hide,

C F Am G

But even from afar I hear you crying.

[Chorus]

F C Am G

Let me out of this cage, before I swell up with rage,

F C Am G

Let me sing to old age before I'm done.

F C Am G

Let me shout to the skies that I'm too young to die,

F C Am G

And that fate will never stop me from trying.

[Instrumental]

Finally found, the dreaming lived those ties unbound.

A hope that's hanging loosely whilst your crying.

Open road, you will only lead back home.

'Cause wisdom knows the eyes through which you're crying
