The Prisoner

The prisoner is the prison guard

He locks himself in with the keys in his hand

The cell becomes home for this prison man

Whose head becomes burdened

By the heart of the guard

Oh how he yearns to break free,

Free from the lies,

The lies of the guard who locks the door each night

The prison man gets a taste of the light

Shining oh so bright,

Just outside of his cell

Each day he breaths in the freshness of air

And the freedom dwelling there

Penetrating his soul

He has hope for another day

But just as he feels the breeze in his nose

Just as the sun peaks over the ridge

His joy is snatched as he fits in the cell,

Into the dark cell once more

The cycle continues

Each day and each night

The hope of the day fades to the fear of the night.
