Paul Young - Prisoner of Conscience

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 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 too 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

I'm saying it loud even though I've found

The tender ground that hurts so much

But it has to be said, he said, the truth can hurt so much

Prisoner of conscience, but the

Captain of my soul
