Lyrics

Place your bars upon my freedom
Build your walls around my home
Wrap a chain around the living
And I will always dream . . .

Take the book that I am reading
Burn the pages of my soul
Steal the music I am singing
And I will always dream . . .

(Chorus) Cut the pinions from an eagle
You only sacrifice the wing
I believe we have a right to be
Always free to dream

There is freedom in a heartbeat
You can never lock away
And it is stronger than this prison
You're building in my way

So it'll attack your brain like thunder
And will explode behind your eyes
And the incredible weight of nothing at all
Is what you leave behind

(Chorus) Cut the pinions from an eagle
You only sacrifice the wing
You are worse than any nightmare
I could ever dream
