Setting the Captives Free
I am a prisoner,
 Shackled and bound
 Behind the iron 
 Bars of myself.
 
 I see the good
 That I strive for,
 Stay in my mind;
 Never to be done.
 
 I struggle, I fight,
 Against the metal
 That holds me back.
 I am weak.
 
 I rest in the 
 Cold, dark cellar
 Of my sin, where
 Light is not present.
 
 The idea that I,
 Will never be good
 Enough, rings forever
 In my ears.
 
 How can I escape?
 The cellar door
 Is locked, the chains
 On my feet, strong.
 
 Only when I look
 To you, I see
 The Light, that I
 Have longed for.
 
 In Your scarred
 Palms, a key,
 Shines in the 
 Reflection of the Sun.
 
 I am not
 A prisoner, I
 Am a son of
 The Sun itself.
