I Will Be Free

by Gypsymooncat


A father driven by sheer will

I'll never believe there's no way out
Of this sandstone fortress girt by sea
Knowing I'm innocent calms my doubts
Come hell, high water - I WILL BE FREE

Imprisoned for crimes I didn't commit 
By walls so thick no man's ever breached
Ten years gone by, I'll no longer sit
While innocent cries, deaf ears beseech 

No island prison bound by water
Can hold my pure, free-flying soul
In dreams I am there with my daughter

There's naught will stop me; I'll reach this goal

Slowly I've chipped at stone with a pen 
Concealed my work with pages of words
I'll not accept the fate of the men 
dying before me, lying interred

The gap's grown bigger, soon I'll slip through
(Hope's eye not playing tricks on my mind!)
I'll wave with a smile and a fond adieu
My soul to fly; I leave you behind!
