Chained Here
The fish in the pond how lucky they are.
 To swim a free life unnoticed to the world
 though they are unaware
 of the envious stare 
 by a girl in chains
 
 Through the bars a song you can hear
 sung unto the birds for it is dear
 the voice that echos off the walls of a hell
 does not sound that of human
 a girl chained to her prison cell.
 Shackles burning 
  round her ankles.
 
 You can hear the voice.
 It sounds a foreign tongue
 though still you are pulled in 
 by this lovely song
 
 closer closer
 come to her now
 and find a sight to see
 follow the voice to the hollow 
 and you will find me.
 
 Lonely in solitude you see
 but who is this mystery girl 
 sitting lone in the hollow
 she must be of magic to sing such a song
 that girl is not of the world you come
 she has fallen and will never again go.
  That girl that you see
 is non other than me.
 
 Struck down to the earth and chained
 I am no more than a fish out of water
 who am I 
 I am
 the one who has waited for you to come
 is me 
 the one to hope for your love alone 
 is me
 the one to cry for your tears 
 is me
 And now you have found me 
 
 I sit in the hollow and wait for you.
 I am a trapped mermaid and I sing for the water to come for me.
