Unchain me from my body – v3

Lift me from this mortal coil,
oh Lord, give me wings to fly,
to rise above the earth,
to fly to my homeland...
 
Lord, let me rise, let me fly,
from my cell from my bed,
to my mother’s side,
unchain me from my body,
oh God, let me rise…
 
My cries in the shadows,
In the watches of the night,
wanting to be beside her,
how I long to take flight…
 
Release me, Lord, I pray,
from chains of my flesh,
let me soar, let me rise,
from my cell, this fortress,
oh God, let me fly...
 
Unchain me from my body,
let my spirit rise, may I soar,
over the miles, the many hours,
until I reach her shores…
