Staring out through the bars Into a world of light, of laughter That I have never known, That I will never know, I shiver, I huddle, Alone. Secluded, I hear a new voice, Colours of the sound painting pictures Of a world of joy, of freedom. I spread my wings within the confines From which I never have flown. Dangled before me, I see the key Which I never alone could find. The key that lies beyond my own, Small reach. The taste of freedom, the smell of it, Within my reach. I spread my wings, Ready to fly. And then... The key withdraws. The light goes out. It is time to sleep, once more, Alone. I learn to love my bars now, While they may confine, they also can protect. Keep away the lies, the tears, The Pain. Keep me away from the tastes of things I never will konw. Within, I sing. The cover comes down, throwing my space Into cold, dark night.
