A Prisoner's Lullaby

The sky you look up to at night
Holds great treasures
Something out of sight
Something you can't measure

Just gazing at distant stars
Can fill you with a great sensation
But when you're locked behind bars
It'll only be a big temptation

To fly free
It's your only wish
Because there's nothing in this hell-hole
That you might begin to miss

Until then you silently fall asleep
Day after day, week after week
Knowing you haven't lost the fight
You can go when the time is right
Escape from your memories
And embrace what is left to be
