Free

I was a soldier
I never went to war
I held you captive
I never locked the door
I knew the key

I freed the beggar who was standing
When he had the chance to run
I feed the only man who hungers
As the prisoner of an empty gun
Free

I built your castle
You never stayed one night
I gave you wings
You never learned to fly
You knew the way

The sky was blacker than the coal
You burn while keeping warm at night
Loud engines shadows on their buildings
Explosions generating light
Free

You built your castle
You stay there every night
You spread your wings & fly away
Fly away

I freed the beggar who was kneeling
When he had the chance to run
I feed the only man who hungers
As the prisoner of an empty gun
Free
