Lyrics
Verse 1:
Here?s a true story, of a teenage family
Living in the fast lane, blind and could not see
Drugs and possession, the dealers on their street
The chords of sin had bound them, while trying to make ends meet
Bridge:
Now every good story makes you wait until the end
But here?s a sneak preview of what happened to them? they were
Chorus:
SET FREE, SET FREE!
They were tried and found guilty, deserved their penalty
SET FREE, SET FREE!
By the judge known as Jesus, grantor of mercy
Verse 2:
The court read the verdict, guilty on three counts
Class D felonies, six years it would amount
The boy, his girl, their baby, a broken family
The chords of sin had bound them, they were blind & could not see
Bridge:
They put it in the Lord?s hands, when they had a change of heart
Twenty-three months later they were freed with a brand new start
Chorus (repeat 2-3 times)
