Waiting for the time to pass
and see what i can see
explore myself and find out
just who I could be
but beneath the shadows of
what others think of me
I'm fighting for survival
in a future I can't see

Waiting for freedom's not as easy as it seems
still a kid on the outside but
aching to break free
I could roam the world and find
all that I can be
But for now I'm in this prison cell,
the key just out of reach

thirsting for independence
from the chains that hold me here
at times i feel like I will
always be this scared
I wonder if someone can
hear my pleas
wishing, if they could
they would set me free

Waiting for freedom's not as easy as it seems
still a kid on the outside but
fighting to break free
I could roam the world and find
all that I will be
but for now I'm in this prison cell,
the key just out of reach

someday, age will break me out
someday, i will live my dreams
but I'll wait for now
I will wait for now

waiting for freedom's not as easy as it seems
still a kid on the outside, but
aching to be free
I could roam the world and find
all that I can be
but for now I'm in this prison cell,
the key just out of reach
for now I'm in this prison cell,
the key just out of reach
