DON'T BIND ME WITH THOSE CHAINS
Author(s): Windy, Apollos

Don't try to bind me with those chains
Of cold conformity,
To a selfish empty life
Of pride and vanity.
Don't try to force me in a mold
That's just not made for me...

Chorus one:
I'd rather die for something
Than live for nothing.
I'm gonna live in love
Forever free!

Don't try to cover up my eyes
So that I cannot see,
My neighbor passin' by
Who may have need of me.
And I refuse to settle down to just live selfishly....

Chorus two:
I'd rather die for something
Than live for nothing.
I'm gonna live my life
For something real.
I'd rather die for something
Than live for nothing
I'm gonna live in love
Forever free!

Bridge:
Why should I throw my life away?
I want to live to give away - God's Love.

[Repeat First verse]

Chorus three:
I'd rather die for something
Than live for nothing.
I'm gonna live my life
For something real.
I'd rather die for something
Than live for nothing,
I'm gonna live in love ... love.

[Repeat Chorus two]
