These Four Walls

These four walls know my secrets
Heard them all and won’t reveal
The sun outside is calling to me
I’ve felt the heat, it must be real
These four walls are only silent 
I hear a voice out in the street 
This dry mouth can taste the freedom
But these walls give no release 
These four walls have a beauty 

Through the bars, the sun shines in
Night and day I chip the stone 
With all my strength, to change the end

These four walls can be a comfort
But I won’t lean to cool my back
I see a face and hear a heartbeat
My restless soul will give no slack
