It shines and ripples
Like a pool of water
It seems so close
And yet so far
He waits and waits
Watching it through prison bars
It belonged to him
Once upon a time
It seemed so cheap
But now he knows its price
He waits and waits
For time that doesn't pass by
He has happy dreams
Of doing what he pleases
What seemed like a waste of time
Were life's precious moments
He waits and waits
For a second chance and a second life
Like a parched traveller
Lost in a vast desert
The pool of pristine water
Beckons to him from afar
He waits and waits
As he conjures up his happy mirage
Oh! What will he not give
For his mirage to come alive?
To run wild and free
To come alive just for one more day
He waits and waits
For freedom that will never be his again
