Prisoner Of Conscience

Paul Young

You want me to be the silent one 
But I can't run from what I know 
When it makes me mad, so mad, I've got to let it go 
It's better it's said than left undone 
Out in the sun we'll see it clear 
And if I'm alone, alone I'm chained to this idea 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
I said that I'd found my matching heart 
And that's a start to build upon 
Foundation strong, so strong, it never should go wrong 
If I see a break within these walls 
If it's too small, we can repair 
But if it's much, too much I'll break the hurt and break the despair 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
To shout out loud seems an easy touch 
And yet so much stands in the way 
So I want to be heard, be heard you've got to let me say 
I'm saying it loud even though I've found 
The tender ground that hurts so much 
But it has to be said, be said, the truth can hurt so much 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul 
Prisoner of conscience, but the 
Captain of my soul
