Liberty Lyrics

The feeling comes to me in waves
The darkest seas I've ever known
Mine is an odyssey of grace
Mine is a story headed home

I tie myself up to the mast
Give up the semblence of control
The sirens sing but I let them pass
cause only you could free my soul

Only you could free my soul yeah
Only you could free my soul

Set these broken bones to cast
Stitch my wounds with holy sutures
Every saint has got a past yeah
But every sinners got a future

And only you could free my soul yeah
Only you could free my soul yeah

Show me the freedom from these chains
Show me a battlefield that's saved
That world is still a world away
But you are my liberty

Free my soul
Free my soul
And let liberty flow
Like a flood, let it go
And I'll let the past go
I'll come on back home
And I'll make it, I know
Oh my love
Oh my hope
Only you could free my soul

Free my soul
Come on and free my soul
(Only you could free my soul)
Come on and free my soul
(Only you could free my soul)

I tie myself up to the mast
I tie myself up to the mast and let it go
(Only you could free my soul)
Yeah
Yeah
Only you could free my soul

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
