These chains

I wish I knew how it felt to be free

Free from these chains that bind me

Invisible they might be

But these chains are holding me down

Embedded in me like the roots of a tree to the ground


I wish I knew how it felt to be free to love

To soar with my love on the wings of a dove

To love forever on earth and in the heavens about

But these chains that bind me are incredibly strong

Unbreakable and lifelong


I wish I knew how it felt to be free to care

to have those special memories to share

with my love who would always be there

but these chains that bind me will never let me loose

wrapped tightly around my neck like a noose


I wish I knew how it felt to be me

Free to be the person I want to be

To be able to control my own destiny

But these chains that bind me have stolen my life

I'll always be its captive even in my afterlife
