In the season of confinement, a gust of fresh air is sought

Amidst an era of betrayal, a faithful soul is dearly sought

The scorching walls echo, “Oh, set me free!”

As the blazing sun, someone must unlock the door to be

In the prison of stagnation, a breath of change is craved

Amidst the tides of injustice, a just heart must be paved.

The burning barriers cry out for liberation’s decree

Like the fiery sun, someone must open the gateway free

In the midst of confinement, let a breeze of renewal blow

In the age of deceit, a loyal companion we yearn to know

The blistering walls beseech, “Oh, let freedom ring!”

As the sun ignites, someone must release the truth it brings
