Passin' by a pretty pet shop window
The captives there were barking at their walls
No one had time to stop and give them comfort
Or answer when the voice of bondage called
Then turning back and going on my journey
I realized the world was just the same
The people who were walking here beside me
Were only in a little bigger cage

Chorus:
Listen to me my brother
If you're lookin' to be free
Hear the words of freedom
There's a place for you and me
Get on board,
Don't be left out in the storm
Before the chance is gone we must flee

I wish I had a way to break your cages
And lift the iron bars from off your walls
But you alone can break the bars of bondage
And take the hand of freedom when she calls
I see the lonely tears within you cryin'
Although your face is dry and wears a smile
There's so much more to life than being empty
When you could have had the answers all the while

[Repeat Chorus]
