Its like I'm never going to be free.
I know i don't deserve freedom because of my sins,
But still, I want to be free.
I feel trapped and I want out.
I'm like a bird in a cage.
I know how they feel now, the birds i mean.
Being stuck in a metal cage,
Keeping me here against my will.
Fearing what will happen if i should lash out or rebel.
I am the red, green eyed, bird behind those chrome bars, trapped for life.
I do want to lash out and rebel all the time , buts whats gonna happen if i do.
I want to balk when i am told to do or follow.
But if i Do, what will Happen?
I know i will be trapped until it is time to be free but when will that be?
My wings were clipped from the dey i was born,
Why won't they grow back?
I try to see everything in a different perspective,
But its always the same.
I want to be free but i don't even know if its allowed for someone like me.
The people who gawk at me with amusement seem to not care that my freedom
has been stripped away from my helpless form.
I want to run from the life that i burden,
But if i do i'll be running from the only chance i have at living.
Maybe I should be the bird behind those chrome bars.
I guess I'll be trapped until the time comes for me to be free,
But when will that be?
I am a trapped red dove, but only for alittle longer.
