When Will I Be Free

Growing up wasn't easy for me
A tragedy hit the family
Left me with extra responsibilities
God, why did this have to happen to me

All I ever wanted was to be free
Live a normal life and to be me
Meet my goals and chase all of my dreams
But God had other plans that I couldn't see

When will I be free
When will my soul be at peace
Now I'm expected to meet all of their needs
This weight on my shoulders it's so heavy on me

Didn't have time to cry or grieve
Had to be strong for the family
Became the person was expected to be
Couldn't let this fear take a hold of me

Given these big shoes to fill
Completely against my will
Suddenly my childhood stood still
Had to grow up; too many roles to fulfill

When will I be free
When will my soul be at peace
Now I'm expected to meet all of their needs
This weight on my shoulders it's so heavy on me

Setting the example for them, you see
And now being the head of the family
That was the plan that God had for me

So one day they could chase their own goals and their dreams
Now I'm at peace and finally I'm free
