- Unchained LyricsI have been ungrateful, I've been unwise.
Restless from the cradle, now I realize.
It's so hard to see the rainbow through glasses dark as these. Maybe I'll be able from now on, on my knees.
[chorus]
Oh I am weak. Oh I know I am vain.
Take this weight from me, Let my spirit be unchained.
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk, I'm overcome.
Seems that we've both forgotten, forgotten to go home.
Oh have I seen an angel, or have I seen a ghost? Where's that Rock of Ages when I need it most?
[repeat chorus]
