Freedom Calls

What is this cage that holds me tight?
  I built these walls both day and night.
Bound to the page, not to my soul,
  A life of work that took its toll.

I chased the spark, I fed my pride.
  Dollar signs, my faithful guide.
But where did it go? It slipped away,
  A Shadow is cast at the close of the day.

Open the door, set my heart free!
  A brighter world now waits for me.
No more chains to weigh me down,
  I wear my freedom like a crown!

The time has come. I rise and shout.
  I've found my way, and I'm breaking out!
My spirit soars, my light will shine,
  At last, this life is truly mine!
