Walls Around Me
Copyright 1995 - Will Pete
Same old, same old, many times I've been in that rut, spiraling in, spiraling out, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing new. The key to my prisons is writing and singing. If that's another prison, at least its an ever changing one, a prison of feeling free.

I LOOK AT THE FOUR WALLS AROUND ME
I BREATHE THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF THE FIELDS
I STAND ON LEGS THAT ARE WEARY
THE DOORS AND THE BARS NEVER YIELD
I FEEL A STRANGE TINGLE SURROUND ME
THE WALLS FADE AWAY AND I RISE
FROM THIS PLACE I WILL LEAVE, WHAT CAN STOP ME
TEARDROPS FALL FREELY FROM MY EYES
I SEARCH AND I SEARCH WHERE IS FREEDOM
WILL I EVER, EVER KNOW WHY
WHAT IS LIFE WHO AM I, WHAT'S THE REASON
I SIT AND LET FOREVER GO BY
FOUR MORE WALLS HAVE I BUILT ALL AROUND ME
I BREATHE THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF THE FIELDS
I STAND ON LEGS THAT ARE WEARY
TELL ME WHY DO I FORGE THESE BARS OF STEEL
