CHAINS
When I was in the cradle,
With closed eyes to the light;
Chains invisible,
Laid on me, tight.
When I was a toddler,
I didn’t see it much.
As I grow older,
It hurt me so much.
When I take a step,
When I cast a glance,
Limited to a strip,
I lose my balance.
If a tree can freely sway,
If a lark can slant ‘r flee,
If a rill can flow its way,
Don’t I’ve the right to be me?
With closed eyes to the light;
Chains invisible,
Laid on me, tight.
When I was a toddler,
I didn’t see it much.
As I grow older,
It hurt me so much.
When I take a step,
When I cast a glance,
Limited to a strip,
I lose my balance.
If a tree can freely sway,
If a lark can slant ‘r flee,
If a rill can flow its way,
Don’t I’ve the right to be me?
