"Steel Bars"

The lyrics to one of my favorite songs in the world, by Jill Phillips. Even better is listening to her sing it.

So this is how it feels at the rock bottom of despair

When the house I built comes crashing down

And this is how it feels when I know the man that I say I am

Is not the man that I am when no one's around

This is how it feels to come alive again

And start fighting back to gain control

And this is how it feels to let freedom in

And break these chains that enslave my soul

CHORUS:

I refuse to be locked up in here like a prison cell

Where all I ever get is a meal and four walls

I used to be just fine in here but not anymore

Gonna break through these steel bars

So tell me how it feels when the tables start to turn

And you find yourself at the losing end

Tell me how it feels, you're not welcome here

'Cause I'm tired of pain and I'm tired of sin

CHORUS

I won't let you win

I have no doubt

I don't want you in

So get out, get out

CHORUS

I refuse to be locked in here like a prison cell

Where all I ever get is a meal and four walls

I used to be just fine in here but not anymore

Gonna break through these steel bars...
