For so many years                   PRISON
  For most of the time
  I llved as a prisoner     My parents .... society
In the walls of my m1nd     I always would blame

                              For the anger I felt     One day I looked up
                            The anger and shame          I could finally see

                                                      That Iwas the prison
                                                      And that Ihad the key

The cell walls are down         I'm out of the Jail      To unlock my own mind
~ot again Will they stand                             To emerge from those chainS
But for my freedom today     Though not totally free
:bey were part of the plan  But becoming the person         To be able to smile
                                                       On the days when it rains
                               God meant me to be
