Curled up in the corner, I’m staring at the wall
My roommate’s praying on the concrete floor
Noise in the distance bouncing through the hall
It breaks through all my memories of before
I was eighteen then, I yearned for nothing more
Than a simple life, a job, a woman’s love to hold
And I’d wish for that again, knowing it could be done
If it weren’t for that night when my life was torn
Can you see the light
Pouring in through the bars
Here all through the night
Reading between the lines
I don’t belong here
I do not belong
I don’t belong here
My heart is my shield
No-one can take it away from me
My field is my mind
They’re both mine and serve me in my hour of need
Can you see the light
Pouring in through the bars
Here all through the night
Reading between the lines
