You've caught my soul
Like a wild animal
Trapped in a net
Trapped in the wire
I've learned not to thrash
I've learned to be tame
Like any tortured thing
Will learn to bear the pain
I long to be free
I long to feel the ground
Give beneath my feet
As I race away
But every dream ends
As every dream begins
Like a flower
Like a feather
You've hung me with your chains
And I swing back and forth
Waiting in my swirling mind
Waiting with my darkened soul
You cannot trap a soul
Without its permission
Someday I will refuse
Someday I will rebel
But not today
Not today
Today I will bow my head
And watch my life bleed red
Perhaps right now you need
A captured soul to free your own
I know not how
I know not why
But someday
Someday I will be free
And light enough to pray
That you will join me
