Lyrics	Writers notes
The memories are there Been pushed aside Hell is for children With nowhere to hide There for a time Found no favor in your eyes Words hit like a fist You wouldn't hear my cries Battered and bruised, life goes on God stretched out his arms Now I belong without your love But with Gods, I move on I'm Free Now I can be what I want to be (repeat 4 times) What is the price? Will we ever know? The people we abuse Can they let it go Some of us are strong We find what we are looking for I found one who loves me When I opened the door I'm Free Now I can be what I want to be (repeat 4 times) Thank you my dear friend For spending the time My hell has gone Now I'm no longer blind Thank you for your life You gave so much more You were the final sacrifice Cut to the core	The first song that I wrote is called “I’m Free” A lot of people are physically and mentally abused. People will build a wall around themselves thinking that nobody cares. Unfortunately, with words that can hit like a fist, they can leave a person with a very low self-esteem. For kids, a parent’s approval is everything. If you don’t get that approval, it can leave you feeling empty and lost. There is hope for people in that very situation. That hope is finding a new family in accepting Jesus Christ into your heart. There is no other that will never leave you nor forsake you. He will be there for you until the very end. There is real truth to his words and he can never lie, so a person can take his words to heart. This song was written for people like myself and I know there are others who have faced larger adversities than I have. The truth still remains the same, that you have a true friend in Christ Jesus.
