[singer A] Through the fog I saw his face A dead man's eyes and a dead man's gaze A whisper came through the clink of chains From the prisoner of Alkatraz [singer B] You made me an animal Then you put me down Made me feel so small And you stood so proud [singer A] He said I will never leave here But it doesn't bother me here Because the freedom of the soul Is the only thing that I know [singer B] You could never let me go I was your free show And I stayed Not by choice But 'cause I had no voice [singer A] I said How'd you find the will? He said I was here before I was here Because the things that brought me here Are the things that bring me peace here [singer B] Shame on you Ooh Shame on you Ooh [melodic interlude] [singer A] Because when the clouds block out the sun That's when the best of me comes I am just a vessel Son And I found peace with being one [singer B] How did I survive? I was the saddest child I'd hold it in But the fire would rage inside [singer A] He said I will never leave here But it doesn't bother me here Because the freedom of the soul Is the only thing that I know [singer B] Shame on you Ooh Shame on you Ooh Shame on you Ooh Shame on you Ooh Shame on you
