This mountain overshadows my entire existence
I stare at in awe and ponder what lies on the other side
Are there people like me? People that would get me
People that would love to go anywhere with me

Is my destiny tied to that of another's over there
Will I finally sleep soundly when I no longer feel alone?
Will someone make me feel like I belong without having me try too hard?
I just yearn to get some relief from this life of alienation

The pretense of being happy when deep inside I'm dying
The loss of air has left me gasping and losing all focus
Reality and fantasy merging into something I cannot identify
My mind knows I am here but it can't stay put

A little dose of joy is all I'm missing
The singing on the other side brings out a longing like no other
The warmth of the people there is what I desire
I crave for the breaking of this barrier so I may have my liberty
So the sunlight may shine down on me as it does on the others
