What . . . . do we call freedom?
Do . . . we have the right?
Verse
Oh, I’m sittin out here,
Beneath this empty dome you call the sky.
For some it may be freedom,
But I know it’s nothing but a lie.
You say, it holds your heart.
I say, it binds and smarts.
You say it holds freedom,
I say it will never have the right.
Chorus
I am held so tight in this prison tonight.
Nothing I can do will help me reach the calling light.
I’m trapped, wishing this jail would disappear.
I’m stuck in me, chained to these stone cold walls that breed my fear.
I’m trapped . . . I’m chained . . . I’m captive . . .
Stuck inside these walls I call a cage.
(End chorus)
Oh, I’m pacing ‘round there,
Out in this open place I call the earth.
The others think it open air,
But breathing it will only choke and hurt.
You say that I’m cold and cruel.
I think inside that you’re a fool.
You call me names and tie me down,
Well someday it’s all coming back around.
I am held so tight in this prison tonight.
Nothing I can do will help me reach the calling light.
I’m trapped, wishing this jail would disappear.
I’m stuck in me, chained to these stone cold walls that breed my fear.
I’m trapped . . . and chained . . . and captive . . .
Stuck inside these walls I call a cage.
Bridge
Why . . . can’t I go free?
Can’t . . . I have some leash?
I’m bound and gagged,
I hope you’re glad.
Someday this slave will be released.
(Don’t ya dare miss me-e-e-e-e.
You had your opportunities,
And threw them all away.)
I am held so tight in this prison tonight.
Nothing I can do will help me reach the calling light.
I’m trapped, wishing this jail would disappear.
I’m stuck in me, chained to these stone cold walls that breed my fear.
I’m trapped . . . all chained . . . held captive . . .
Stuck inside these walls I call a cage!
Do . . . we have the right?
