Unchained lyrics

I have been ungrateful,

I've been unwise.

Restless from the cradle,

Now I realize,

It's so hard to see the rainbow,

Through glasses dark as these.

Maybe I'll be able,

From now on, on my knees.

Oh, I am weak.

Oh, I know I am vain.

Take this weight from me,

Let my spirit be unchained.

Old man swearin' at the sidewalk,

I'm overcome.

Seems that we've both forgotten,

Forgotten to go home.

Have I seen an angel?

Oh, have I seen a ghost?

Where's that rock of ages,

When I need it most?

Oh, I am weak.

Oh, I know I am vain.

Take this weight from me,

Let my spirit be unchained.
