Brick by overbearing brick
I will heal and once more fly like before
Spreading my wings wide, outside of this cage
Soar high, Soar far,

With every drop of sweat and tears
I carry my load to that wall
To patch up the holes that got created
Some heavy, some light

With every brick, theres willpower
Brimming, overflowing over
Always put another foot forward
Seeing it for what it is...an escape route out

Every drop of sweat and tears
Filled in the buckets by it
Used to make my rations
Watering for the future flowers outside this cage

This brick layed escape route worked
On the first, the older cage that imprisoned me
For my wings weren't fully grown and they were clipped too
Its escape happened and a new cage got made

This shall end in my demise or my freedom
I shall die from laying these bricks down or drowning in these buckets
I shall feel the wind in my wings if its by noose or flapping away
This requires no requiem but praise...

A praise for survival or escape
I took an effort to get to the end result
Made the bricks, used my sweat and tears
So i say goodbye for now, so i can try free myself once more
