the prisoner & the prince

below the city streets lies a form of life
where one is isolated from the world above
the people that are located down there
are ones who are being held back from life
they are prisoners of their own mind and heart
afraid to come forth for who they really are
being held against their will to releases the shackles
of the pain, depression, misery and hopelessness
they do not know how to break free from this life
and to find their way up to the light up above
to find love, to find him, to find life

above in the light lies many fields of open grass and fields
a world of happiness and joy where he exists
yet he has no idea that under his world is another one
he goes on with his busy day as the prisoner prays for him
himself is confused because he knows he is out there
but to his dismay does not know how to find him
he is a prince, a beauty, a wonderment of joy
he doesn't think he is this figment of his reality
only if he looked deep inside, he'd fine a way to find him

the prisoner knows he must fight to get the prince
he tries everything, he became a prisoner for a reason
now must work harder than ever to reclaim the right to love
and be loved in return by the beauty from up above
the shackles will be unlocked and he will be able to go find him
with all his will and might, he rips from those shackles
runs through the streets looking for any glimpse of the light above
knowing that his prince is right up above from him

the prince feels it in his heart that he is near
he can hear him screaming and feel his heartbeat
he cries out to him and he is scrambling to find his way up
running through the fields into the forest he sees a figure
in the far distance, afraid of what it may be, he goes further
the prisoner has found a ladder and had climbed up into the forest
he looks around the forest and see the light he had dreamt of
he knows it's him, he sees the darkness ahead, is it him, could it be

as they both walk faster to each other, the darkness and light colide
they see each other for the first time, reborn, again
the smile from the prince causes the prisoner to feel relief
he had forgiven him for all the sins that took him to inprisonment
he was determiend to do whatever it took to find him, and he did
they ran into each other's arms, they were crying because they never knew
that they would ever see each other again yet be together again
the prisoner was no longer a prisoner anymore, he was now his prince

they held hands, walked away from the dark forest into the light
where the energy was so amazing that all was forgiven for why he was a prisoner
they vanished into the light to a place where they never thought they'd go

it was called happiness
finally
