As I look outside the window
I see a sunny day
And hear the laughter of my friends
As they walk away
They're walking towards the future
Into a better time
The smiles on their faces
Are reflecting in their lives
But as they walk that golden road
I start to look around
No laughter fills this empty room
No sunlight fills this ground
Cold bars across the windows
Strong locks upon the doors
The only key to my escape
Lies in the kitchen drawer
I take a breath of courage
As I turn this little key
The warm blood rushes from my veins
I drop down to my knees
And as my head is spinning
I give it one last try
No heads turn nor eyes look up
I give my painful cry
And just before my vision blurs
They've almost walked away
Tomorrow they will wake up
To another happy day.
