1. BEYOND THE CAGE OF SILENCE

Outside my window there’s an open road
And it’s calling out to me
A distant shore on the horizon
I will soon be free

So I leave the empty hours of dreaming
Look out to the sea
Set my sails for a new horizon
Nothing left for me

Beyond the cage of silence we can fly

Behind your window only emptiness
Filled with shame and misery
But you’ve told me oh so many times
That this is the place for me

So I leave the empty hours of dreaming
Look out to the sea
Set my sails for new horizons
Nothing here for me

Beyond the cage of silence
You kept us all our lives
The world is waiting
No silence is justified

And from the cage of silence we will rise

Outside these windows there’s a universe
That is calling out to me
No longer trapped by your horizons
And now I will be free

Beyond the cage of silence
You kept us all our lives
The world is waiting
No silence is justified

And from the cage of silence we will rise

I listened to you nearly all my life,
Thought that you knew a thing or two
But now your sheer hypocrisy appals me
I will not follow you

On and on we drift towards the future
We’ve got nothing in mind
Afraid of what we might
Discover
Is the end worth waiting for?

Beyond the cage of silence
You kept us all our lives
The world is waiting
No silence is justified

Beyond the cage of silence
You kept us all our lives
The world is waiting
No silence is justified

So I leave the empty hours of dreaming
Look out to the sea
Set my sails for a new horizon
Nothing left for me

Beyond the cage of silence I will fly

I’ve come to realize just what you are
A victim of somebody’s fear
Inflicting your beliefs on everyone around you
Close your eyes to what’s real

Beyond the cage of silence
You kept us all our lives
The world is waiting
No silence is justified

Beyond the cage of silence
Hidden from us all our lives
The world is waiting
No silence is justified
