Behind the Bars

[Verse] Walls of stone they close me in Echoes of a life grown thin Music trapped inside my mind Freedom lost but dreams I find [Verse 2] Chains that clink in quiet night Moonlight's soft yet solemn light Fingers itch to play a chord In my heart my concert's stored [Chorus] Locked away I can't be free Even here my soul can see Symphony of sorrow's tale Playing loud behind these jails [Verse 3] Notes that dance upon the air Silent cries of my despair Still my heart it dares to beat Every bar a fleeting feat [Bridge] Hope in music still survives In these walls my spirit dives Worlds beyond these bars I see Melodies will set me free [Verse 4] Hands that ache to touch the keys Craft a tune that soul appease Though my freedom’s far away Music gives me strength today
