She was reachin' out of a window 
From a space just a few inches wide

'Till the hand of justice pulled her back inside

But like a needle in a haystack 
The truth gets so disguised
                                     D5 (Gtr. 3)
In a kingdom built on madness and on lies

One day, freedom will unlock your door 
So hold on, believe on
Be who you were before
In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright 
So hold on, hold on
