We must bend the bars
+
Of these cages around our hearts
+
Deconstruct the confines
+
Of a weary existence
+
Smash apart the stones
+
Piled high upon our chests
+
And take in our first breaths of freedom
+
There is no waiting for life to come strike us
+
We must seek it out if we are to feel it's touch
+
And I resolve to seize each day
+
And not let go until
+
My hands can't hold
+
We must not separate ourselves from life
+
Cherish and prize each breath taken upon this earth
+
This is our only chance
+
One life, and then it's over
+
You've just got to decide
+
If you'll live life on your knees
+
A clear choice
+
Between revolution and apathy
+
If the pain is too much,
+
You can look to me
+
I'll be there to help you up,
+
Up to your feet
+
We must forge a path
+
Straight through to the light
+
Raise ourselves up before we fade into the night
+
Sinking down
+
We are drowning in a pool of despair
+
Watching as our lives are wrenched away from our hands
+
This is the match held to the fuse
+
The spark that will ignite change
+
We'll sift through the wreckage left behind
+
And dance among the ruins of our prisons
+
