I run through this net
that baits me here tonight
Escapee heading for the unknown
A sole survivor of my families plight
A man with nowhere - I can call home
What does it mean to be free
If I'm blind when will I see
Is this what hell is meant to be
Why won't they let me be
The gunfire caused this ring in my ears
and the shell shock it makes me
I struggle now to hold back my tears
I'm weak but my life I have kept
What does it mean to be free
If I'm blind when will I see
Is this what hell is meant to be
Why won't they let me be
What does it mean to be free
If I'm blind when will I see
Is this what hell is meant to be
Why won't they let me be
