Chorus:
DG
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord!
DA
Take away these chains from me!
DG
My heart is broken 'cos my spirit's not free,
DA
Lord, take away these chains from me!
Verse 1:
DG
Some birds' feathers are too bright to be caged
DA
I know I'm not that colourful, but a bird just the same
DG
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
DA
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home.
