lyrics

The Prison You Live In

It’s the prison you live in when you’re stuck in your ways
You pace like a lion & scratch off the days
With the ghosts of the memories of things you can’t see
It’s the prison you live in ‘till you set yourself free

From a golden castle down by the sea
You found no solace you couldn't get free
You stood there in heaven with all that you need
But you only saw sorrow, sadness and greed
I didn’t hear it when it actually came out
But I saw the words form on their mouths
You stood for the jury, the jailer & judge
They found you guilty of the absence of love

….with the ghosts of the memories lost and estranged
It’s the prison you live in when you can’t change

You walked into the ocean, gave into the tide
The sting rays all wept and the mermaids all cried
The sea turned to black and the sky to grey
Then it spit you back out and it turned you away
You spoke with the preacher and he called you son
All was forgiven and all was undone
The sky opened up from the heavens above
Through streams of forgiveness to an ocean of love

…with the ghosts of the memories of things you can’t see
It’s the prison you live in ‘till you set yourself free
It’s the prison you live in till you set yourself free
