I lived in a house
That wasn't a house
There was no garden
No garden
It was cage
That wasn't a cage
There were no bars
No bars
Then finally one day
I opened the door
The outside world saw me
Saw me
I left the house
That wasn't a house
No more bars to hold me
Hold me
I planted a garden
That isn't a garden
But fragrant and lovely it is
It is
Where hope and joy
Love and peace grow
Happiness now surrounds me
Surrounds me
