| There now, they’ve all gone |
| almost as if they never had been |
| I turn my eyes backwards and I gaze into my own gaze |
| I turn my eyes inwards and I gaze into my own face |
| I built my prison stone by stone |
| how many useless knots I tied |
| I dug the pitfalls in my path |
| how many useless tears I cried |
| here to build in worlds of beauty |
| no-one made a joy a duty |
| no-one, no-one but me I saw the birds that flew so free |
| I envied them their grace divine |
| I saw the dancer’s airy steps |
| theirs was a different world than mine |
| here to build in worlds of glory |
| no-one made my sad sad story |
| no-one, no-one but me when useless walls come tumbling down |
| sparrows will sing on the fallen stones |
| Adam will pull the knife from his brow |
| Eve will lick the salt from his wounds |
| free to make my own tomorrow |
| free to free my heart from sorrow |
| free to hear and smell and see |
| free to be me, free to be free |
