[Intro]
D A D A A# F Am Dm A Dm C A# D
[Verse]
Dm A Dm A
From the window I see the mountains
A A# F Am Dm
They roll like tidal waves across the horizon
A
The rain cascades down
Dm C A# Dm D
Like lava it consumes everything on its journey to the bottom
A
From the window I hear the aching groaning wind
A# F Am
It forces its way through the cracks onto my skin
Dm C
I long to climb out , to be swept up in its wrath
A# A D
But I can't break through the bars that keep me in
[Chorus]
A# C Dm
There's nothing i want more then to sleep under a night sky
A# C Dm
Hear the animals as they go about their lives
A# C F Dm
Feel a fire warm my body, feel the mud under my toes
A# A Dm
But tonight this cell keeps me enclosed
[Verse]
D
A D A
The trees form a secret green embrace
A# F A
Their arms beckoning to swallow me whole
Dm
I want to climb over these rooftops
C
And over these fences
A# A Dm
And escape to the places none of these guards would go
[Chorus]
A# C Dm
There's nothing i want more then to sleep under a night sky
A# C Dm
Hear the animals as they go about their lives
A# C F Dm
Feel a fire warm my body, feel the mud under my toes
A# A Dm
But tonight this cell keeps me enclosed
[Verse]
D
A D
Sitting here I prepare myself for the future
A# F A Am
When instead of one month I could be here for years
Dm C
Would I lose hope, would i take my life
A# A D
Or would we find a way to break ourselves out of here?
[Chorus]
A# C Dm
There's nothing i want more then to sleep under a night sky
A# C Dm
Hear the animals as they go about their lives
A# C F Dm
Feel a fire warm my body, feel the mud under my toes
A# A Dm
But tonight this cell keeps me enclosed
[Verse]
D
A# C Dm
For if we don't have our freedom if we are captured by their iron hands
A# C Dm
Then the vision for fire it burns so much more bright
A# C
There's no justice in this system
F Dm
A bigger cage is still a prison
A# A D
Well I hope that somewhere someone breaks free tonight
[Outro]
A# A D
