The Key

Locked in a cage, all by herself She keeps screaming out for help As loudly as she can But the key is in her hands People walk by, rattle the door Try to open and free her for The sight is hard to stand But the key is in her hands She keeps her fist closed, falls down to the ground Lets her eyes close, she never found That her prison was self-imposed and That the key was in her hands
