I am bound by fate Chained by faith Locked in the darkness of solitude Silence remains An eternity of crying As I am held by unwanted arms But I belong to no one How I've longed to see the sky Kiss the sun, its warm lips Embrace the wind with all I am Touch the moon with my fingertips But though I am captive of misery I have grown wings out of hope And one day I shall free myself And bleed no more And finally see the sky And kiss the sun I long to be with I'll break the bonds myself— I belong to no one.
