You kept me in a cage; chained and locked.
There was no way out that was not blocked
Kidnapped. Wings strapped. Completely Trapped
Days go by. I still don’t fly
Hope decreased. Would I ever be released?
I won’t let him keep me here. I won’t be controlled by fear
It’s time things are changing. It’s time for uncaging
I fought and felt stripped from the chains that I ripped.
My wings for so long held down and gripped
But they could not possibly ever be clipped
I was once in your prison. But from those dwellings i have finally risen.
