Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse)
Gm
Look into the mirror, what do you see?
C7
A shell of a person, lost in the sea.
Gm
Tied down by chains of society,
C7
Yearning for a taste of sweet liberty.

(Chorus)
Gm C7
Breaking the chains, we rise above,
Gm C7
Fuelled by the power of endless love.
Gm C7
The world may judge, but we’re free,
Gm C7
In the realm of music, our sanctuary!

(Verse)
Gm
Striving for freedom, we make our stand,
C7
With the power of music, mic in hand.
Gm
We’re Dutiful Restriction, hear our roar,
C7
We won’t be silenced, not anymore!

(Chorus)
Gm C7
Breaking the chains, we rise above,
Gm C7
Fuelled by the power of endless love.
Gm C7
The world may judge, but we’re free,
Gm C7
In the realm of music, our sanctuary!
