Locked Away from The Graylands by Rob Watson

9. LOCKED AWAY
One day some years ago I broke the status quo
Some ancient sin that runs in the family
Now I’m behind these walls, these endless naked halls
All of a sudden I’ve been locked away
I cannot see the horizon
And I rarely see the sun
It looks at me through my window

These rocks are breaking me, I’ve just begun to see
The hateful peace of resignation
As each day passes by, I lose the will to try
It’s all because I have been locked away
I cannot see the horizon
And I rarely see the sun
It looks at me through my window

Locked in a prison of death and decay
So few among you are breaking away
You say that you’re helpless but I don’t believe you
If you could run you would probably stay

I’m going to break on out of here, I will not be a prisoner
Right through these walls you’ll see me walking
Redemption’s here at last, removes my spotted past
Never again will I be locked away
I will see beyond the horizon
I’ll be free to follow the sun
There’ll be no more bars on my window
Never again to be locked away

I can see beyond the horizon
I am free to follow the sun
There are no more bars on my window
Never again to be locked away
