Dm A Dm A
From the window I see the mountains
A Bb F Am Dm
They roll like tidal waves across the horizon
A
The rain cascades down
Dm C Bb Dm D
Like lava it consumes everything on its journey to the bottom
A
From the window I hear the aching groaning wind
Bb F Am
It forces its way through the cracks onto my skin
Dm C
I long to climb out, to be swept up in its wrath
Bb A D
But I can't break through the bars that keep me in
Bb C Dm
There's nothing I want more then to sleep under a night sky
Bb C Dm
Hear the animals as they go about their lives
Bb C F Dm
Feel a fire warm my body, feel the mud under my toes
Bb A Dm
But tonight this cell keeps me enclosed
A D A
The trees form a secret green embrace
Bb F A
Their arms beckoning to swallow me whole
Dm
I want to climb over these rooftops
C
And over these fences
Bb A Dm
And escape to the places none of these guards would go
Bb C Dm
There's nothing I want more then to sleep under a night sky
Bb C Dm
Hear the animals as they go about their lives
Bb C F Dm
Feel a fire warm my body, feel the mud under my toes
Bb A Dm
But tonight this cell keeps me enclosed
A D
Sitting here I prepare myself for the future
Bb F A Am
When instead of one month I could be here for years
Dm C
Would I lose hope, would I take my life
Bb A D
Or would we find a way to break ourselves out of here?
Bb C Dm
There's nothing I want more then to sleep under a night sky
Bb C Dm
Hear the animals as they go about their lives
Bb C F Dm
Feel a fire warm my body, feel the mud under my toes
Bb A Dm
But tonight this cell keeps me enclosed
Bb C Dm
For if we don't have our freedom if we are captured by their iron hands
Bb C Dm
Then the vision for fire it burns so much more bright
Bb C
There's no justice in this system
F Dm
A bigger cage is still a prison
Bb A D
Well I hope that somewhere someone breaks free tonight
