In a world
Where chains are meant to be
I stand alone
I stand so free
In a world
Where I must try to survive
Living each day
Hoping we will be alive
My voice is the words unspoken
In a world
Where silence is never unbroken
I see what others do not
Because of the chains that
bound the heart and soul
Keeping others silent
And their stories remain untold
In a world
Where chains are meant to be
I stand alone
To face the world as me
