Description
I've been living behind the bars for so long,
I've never ever seen the light.
I wish I knew what freedom looked like,
If I even ever had the chance.
I imagine it'd be something wonderful,
Something I'd never want to lose.
I imagine it'd be bright as the sun,
With much warmth to spare.
If only I could see that freedom,
If only it'd take my hand.
What are you freedom,
So far out of reach and mind.
I wish I could say I knew you,
But you've evaded me my whole life.
From behind these bars something clicks,
A sound so loud amidst the darkness.
I wish I could see what's coming,
Something brutally awful I assume.
It's all I've ever known so far,
Just an endless cycle of pain.
It's my fault I go so far as to guess,
I'm the only one here to blame.
But then the door swings wide,
And a vision of white greets me.
I've never seen so much color before,
Never before seen anything so vivid.
I'm asked to step outside,
Probably more punishment for my crimes.
I didn't know what to expect,
But I didn't think I'd be surprised.
I found myself free,
For the first time in my life.
It was an amazing feeling,
To be able to do anything I wanted.
And yet I knew deep deep down,
That one day I'd be locked up again.
It was a fact so true,
That I knew I couldn't question it.
I keep looking for the door,
And with it that tiny little room.
But I was told to give it up,
To find a new life here.
I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing,
Too amazing to be true.
The one thing I'd always dreamed about,
Was standing right in front of me.
I knew my troubles weren't over,
Not for a moment.
But I knew one thing,
And one thing only.
I was one step closer to the end,
Just one measly little step.
And to me in that moment,
That one step was everything.
