lyrics

hidden so far away and taken for granted
lonely and abandoned
if only we could see
thats why i pray this whole world could see her
as such a beautiful creature
beautiful energy

but you spend your whole life in a shackle and chain
what we do to you don't we feel the pain
get to the heart and tell me what remains
don't we all want the same
to be happy and free

i took the time to get to know you
i sat and listened to your perfect prayer
i only wanted to console you
cause pretty soon you won't be here in a world that would control you
how do you hold back all the things you feel
from the one who bought and sold you
whats yours to give we go and steal

thats why i want to let you go let the world know
even she wants to feel so wonderful
let the feeling grow into your soul
she cries for her child with the motherly moan
let the healing start break it apart
the stone that stopped up a piece of my heart
don't we all want the same
to be happy and free?
