You were always chained
For Longer than you can remember.
How desperate you must have been,
How cruel the world
might have been,
To you, who had seen only
Love in your mother's eyes.
Yet you never
Imagined yourself free
You just thought about your children
Running round the undiscriminated streets
Your lover who greeted you in tears
Your hand brushed with hers
And you hoped to see her again
No matter what misery tomorrow might bear
You must have been hoping
For your next life to unfold
While fighting to live in the present
Believing the duty to liberty is yours to hold
You, who were always chained
For longer than you can remember.
How desperate you must have been
To unleash the very next you.
You never wanted to show him the cruelty.
To him, you only wanted to remain
Love in his mother's eyes.
I'm sorry that I'm thankful after a very long time
