Chains of the Sky

Cold stone walls, whispers in the night, Fading hope in the absence of light. Counting days with marks on the wall, Dreaming of the world beyond it all. The rain falls down, but it won’t wash away, The chains that bind, the price I pay. Yet in the dark, a whisper grows, A voice inside that softly knows. I see the sky beyond these bars, A distant light, a world afar. No cage can hold the fire inside, One day I'll run, no need to hide. Footsteps echo in empty halls, A letter of hope in a bottle calls. If the storm must come, let it rage, Freedom waits beyond this cage. I see the sky beyond these bars, A distant light, a world afar. No cage can hold the fire inside, One day I'll run, no need to hide.
