My heart sings of freedom,
A prisoner behind
This ribcage,
It has been crying
Since the day I was born,
Knocking on this door
That is my chest,
My heart sings of freedom,
His tears dripping
Through the rivers
Of my veins,
My heart sings of freedom,
An apple slowly chewed
By the jaws of time,
My heart sings of freedom,
The chains of hours past
Keep his strings locked,
My heart sings of freedom,
One day it shall be free
