Loosen The Chains by Mara Maya
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend,
I wait for the day when she will become free.
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.

Someday she'll come home and our friendship will mend,
For now I will pray but alone I will be.
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend.

Although she has the kindest soul god could lend
Her troubles were much too heavy to carry.
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.

Fourteen years old is a young life to descend
She's been locked away and it's no use to plea.
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend.

A life filled with misery she can't pretend.
She showed me her terrors but I couldn't see,
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.

I'm praying that one day this pain will all end.
I'm waiting, I'm wishing she'll return to me.
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend,
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.
