You say you hate these bars
You built them around yourself
You claim to fear a cage
Yet this cage is your creation
These walls that surround your heart
Were designed by you alone

You built the cage
You hold the keys
You can free yourself
If you please

It’s a conscious choice
One you’d do well to make
Reach out and and unlock the door
You decide your fate
Do what you will
You hold tomorrow in your hands

You built the cage
You hold the keys
You can free yourself
If you please

You have your chance
Turn around, take a look
You hold tomorrow in your hands
You hold forever in your hands
You have the power, so reach out
Unlock this door

You built the cage
You hold the keys
You can free yourself
If you please
