I am a shadow of what I could be   I hide in silence, a mystery   I try to come out of my shell   But there’s no one there to share my private hell      Please help me   To try to be me   To be free      Walls of Isolation are my home   Land of loneliness is where I roam   Someone help me cross this canyon   Someone give me strength   Strength of a thousand stallions      Please help me   To try to be me   To be free      You think I like this cage of mine   But honey it’s not a cage of my design   You think I like being sealed in despair    I just need guidance, some love and care      So now you’ve heard my call for peace   If this my fate, this song is my release   If I am to go on as I am   Someone tell me why, ‘cause I don’t understand      Please help me   To try to be me   To be free      Please help me   To try to be me   To be free
