A lonely boy looking out
A lonely boy looking out of his prison cell
Wonders how life is around him
Is life really heaven or hell?
Is there really any way to tell?
That gray prison cell keeps just him inside
And locks everyone else out
Though he tried and tried
The walls would not divide
A lonely boy looking out of his prison cell
Wonders who really loves him
Is love something to whisper or to yell?
Is there really any way to tell?
To that boy love is a luxury and a rarity
Greatly appreciated but hard to obtain
He will not experience it because he is in solitary
Or is it because of his irregularity?
A lonely boy looking out of his prison cell
Wonders why life is so cruel to him
Is life worth living or is it time to say fare well?
Is there really any way to tell?
