they wanted to break my back, wanted to hold me back from beeing free.
they had a part for me in society, but that wasn´t me.
they gave me an early start, when they broke my heart i needed to see.
that if i wanted to be myself i couldn´t be myself without me!

so here i am!
i stepped out!
to be free!

'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still say all i want.
"now that i´m free!"

i needed to learn the truth, i had to find my own destiny.
ev´rybody would pass me by, i couldn´t pacify the urge in me!
cause i was given wings to fly, that i was meant to try can´t you see.
that if i wanted to be myself i couldn´t be myself without me!

so here i am!
i stepped out!
to be free!

'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still stay in control.
now that i´m free!

you didn´t think that i would try...
you never knew what´s on my mind...
you didn´t think i´d really try to be more than this!?
i had to live in agony...
i knew you´re looking down on me...
but i always knew that i would be so much more than this!

'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still say all i want!
