The Prison

You ended up behind bars
Never thought this is how it ends
This prison is made for the damned and vile
You may spend here the rest of your life
The thought of leaving is unbearable
You are living day to day in fear.

The doubt in your heart has raised its voice
A way out is the only choice
The pain of staying will eat you alive
Walls are closing in day by day
The longer you stay, the harder you fall
Freedom truly is the toughest call.

They pushed you down, locked you in place and
You know nothing of the world outside.

The Prison won't break you
And nothing else will
Everything on the outside
Tastes sweet like summer rain
Cut the bars or stay forever in
Just close the door and fade away.

Have you felt the sweetness of freedom
Have you drunk from the fountain of life
Hear the wind howls in the wild
See the brightest northern nights
The years of strife were not what they said
The prison is just in your head.

They pushed you down, locked you in place and
You know nothing of the world outside.

The Prison won't break you...

Have you seen the stars and moon
Have you seen how the world opens over you.

The Prison won't break you...
