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
