about

‘Truly Free’ hints at old school soul as Rhys celebrates the freedom that comes through brokenness.

lyrics

Truly Free Evan Rhys

I used to compare myself
To the sound of somebody else
Trapped by the lie that I’d
Fall on my feet
When I did

But comparing got me nowhere
It’s a wide and empty pit
You’ve got to listen to your own music
And not the discourse in your head

I’m on my knees
I’ll lift my hands to the heavens
I’m on knees
I’ll raise my voice and I’ll sing
I’m on my knees
The world belongs to those who are broken
I'm on my knees
Cause when you’re broken, you’re truly free

I used to wish I’d possess
All the gifts of
Another man
But I always failed
Cause those gifts he possessed
Were not mine

But comparing got me nowhere
It’s a wide and empty pit
I learned to listen to my own music
And not the discourse in my head

I’m on my knees
I’ll lift my hands to the heavens
I’m on knees
I’ll raise my voice and I’ll sing
I’m on my knees
The world belongs to those who are broken
I'm on my knees
Cause when you’re broken, you’re truly free
