You've got the power to set me free, why don't you give it, give it to me I'd sell you short is that what you thought, don't you see there's no mystery You'll change you mind we're so short of time I've drawn a sentence my life's on the line I'm gonna die I've got to get out, I'm gonna try just let me shout
(Chorus) I'm a prisoner, set me free I'm a prisoner, let me out I'm a prisoner, set me free I'm a prisoner, let me out
Your bright blue eyes are staring at me, closer now than they'll ever be My minds running wild there's nobody there, Reach up to the sky, no one seems to care
This empty cell so dark and lonely, Cold thick stone and bars surround me I'm getting weaker by the hour, Outside I hear the distant laughter
