A room with a view



1.      We all live inside a prison behind bars
2.      We take a look outside at the sea
3.      We wonder if we’ll ever walk again on that beach
4.      We raise our eyes to the sky
5.      We imagine some birds which are flying by
6.      Our thoughts are haunted by our harsh destiny
7.      Having been born on this desolate planet
8.      But have we ever taken any risk in our life?

9.      Faced thus with the heavy burden of our mind
10.  We withdraw ourselves into our lonely residence
11.  Asking in our prayers God for mercy
12.  Wishing that something will change in the future
13.  As we are all prisoners of hope and slaves of habit
14.  So who has chained us up and put us behind bars?
15.  Since everything we want is for our own sake? 
16.  If our own self is the only one we trust?

17.  If we contemplated our freedom for a while
18.  So that we could escape from conventionality
19.  Having no need to steal for profit or for luxury
20.  Nor to become celebrities to find immortality
21.  Then we could be the heroes in our own drama
22.  Never having to commit again the same crime.
