Chained by your circumstances You build a prison in your mind Throw away your all your chances Unaware of what you may find

Waiting for your sentence to end You postpone your desires and dreams Time within the prison walls you spend In anticipation of a future that seems

Glimpses of freedom keep you alive Days turn into months, months into years Closer to the day you thrive Shedding away your bounds and fears

The day only gets farther as it gets close For chains you trade for chains You await your freedom Or does your freedom await you
