Swinging from a tree
or swaying near a wall
the man inside the iron cage
isn’t afraid to fall
Swinging from a tree
or swaying near a wall
does anyone look up
like he does
watching for the darkness to fall
Swinging from a tree
or swaying near a wall
do you know you can
hear his cries
when there is nothing
left of him at all.
