I've lived in fear
For so many years
Was told what to do
I had to follow the rules
I met a man
Who loved to hold my hand
Looked into my eyes
And saw a nice surprise
A love that was heard
Without saying a word
I found a good man
Who was part of the plan
He's walked in my shoes
I'm done, I paid my dues
I believe in myself
I put my life on a shelf
And now it seems
I can reach my dreams
I can break the chain
Rid myself of this pain
It would surely be
And then I would be free
I found a good man
Who was part of the plan
He's walked in my shoes
I'm done, I paid my dues
I paid my dues
