In my mind
I can hear the river rushing
So close I should be able to touch it

I can hear the birds
That look down at me
Singing their songs
Of comfort and freedom

I can feel the tall grass
That sways around where I lay
And the cool morning dew
That lingers on

I can taste freedom

But when I open my eyes
I am once again surrounded
By the gray walls of my prison

This is about how no matter how free we are in our minds we always have to return to reality, leaving our escape behind.
