Prison Is Not For Me  

I’m carved from lightning

Wired for flight

Not built for cages

Not made for night 

I rise like storms  

That refuse to sleep

I climb through shadows  

The walls can’t keep

I’m not a number

Not steel’s decree

I’m every lock  

That lost its key 

I’m every sunrise  

Breaking through

Every truth  

The darkness knew 

Prison is not for me

I’m too alive 

Too wild

Too free

I bend the bars  

With breath and will

I turn the silence  

Sharp and still

I walk where echoes  

Learn to roar

Where broken doors  

Become a door

I’m built of thunder

Born to be

The one no cell  

Can ever see

Prison is not for me

I’m the spark  

That snaps the chain

The voice that rises  

Through the pain

The road that runs  

Beyond the gate

The fate that never  

Fears its fate

Prison is not for me

I’m freedom’s pulse

I’m destiny
