Outside My Window

On the cold floor I jerk awake, And like a miracle a light shines, I stand on my toes and look, Outside my tiny window the sun is risin', I can almost feel its rays, Caressing my cold clammy skin, Outside the land is barren. It’s all barbed wire surrounding me…Tall and forbidding. But outside I see freedom, I can taste it though from afar, Outside I see the sun wink at me, I ‘am another day closer to freedom.
