There is a wall that has been standing since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started and sin is why it held
Speakin' as a prisoner who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it fell

I can here the sound of freedom like a distant voice who called
And beckon me to follow where I had never gone
And though my heart is willin', I just stood there at the wall
Prayin' somehow it would fall

But in a cross I found a doorway and a hand that held a key
And when the chains fell at my feet, for the first time I could see

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free, yeah

There are days when I'm reminded of the prison I was in
Like a livin' nightmare burning from the veil
I can feel the voice of evil, I can hear the call of sin
But I won't go back again

See, once I've tasted freedom then the walls could bind no more
Since mercy gave me wings to fly like an eagle I can soar

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free, yeah

Somewhere there's a prison where the chains still burn
If not for the grace of God those walls could still be mine
So far all the captives are saved

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free, yeah
This is how it feels to be free
