The Body As A Prison

The body is a prison
a trap of blood and bones
it keeps you wrapped inside
and will never let you go

It doesn't matter how much you plead
or beg to 'God' above
your 'prayers' simply go unanswered
I guess that's how He Show's His Love

As your family and friends around you
get to watch you whither away
your mind it fades inside you
you can't remember anyway

This is how it feels to get old
and ever so gray
I don't want to do it
I don't want to stay

I want to be young forever
in my prison body cast
I want to keep my memories
I want to make them last

I want to turn back the hands of time
and relive happier days
But alas this cannot happen
Something stands in our way

The Body As A Prison
It isn't up to you
Anyway
