Staring down the hole Eyes like fire owl Watching through the bars Counting passing cars Bird is in a cage Only silent rage Can we break away (my friend) When night will turn to day (in the end) Tearing down the mask Skeletons of past You leave our cell alone? No more going home And the rays of sun glistened through the mist As it rose between the mountains Squinting our eyes against shimmering light We stood in awe of the morning's beauty
