Moving Out


 

Pushing everyday
Fighting against these chains
let me go, let me be free.
 
I need a chance
To spread my wings
and to show the world who I am.
 
But this boa isn't a feathery one
It's constricting me like a lamb
 
I beg, I fight, I push, I scream
let me go, let me be free
 
I need to go and be on my own
But there's something I don't know
 
Once I'm out there
Just me and myself
It's different kind of show.
 
I want to go home
I'm alone and trapped out here
Let me go, let me be free
