1. Breaking Free
by Lisa Widner


In the prison, I'll sit and wait,

And find a way to release my hate.

In solitary confinement, I'm trying to fight

For the freedom I long for every day of every night.

With every day passing me by and by,

All I could do was cry.

But now I'm starving to find my freedom;

With odds so hard, how can I beat 'em.

So with my spoon and fork, I've started to dig; I'll dig until I'm free.

The objects that helped imprison me will finally set me free.
