Through engagements on his knees
He starts to build a shell.
For once he stands high on his feet
He’s knocked back down to hell.

So he stands within his chains
And shuts his weary eyes.
Within his mind’s where he remains.
Away from life, away from lies.

He was born as a free man.
And will be that until his grave.
free to walk and roam the land.
But to the Embrace of Days
He is enslaved.

Who shall bring greatness and taste therein sweet
make joy their bread and happiness meat
Challenge the dark on strong sturdy feet
And never give in or swallow defeat

Whoever shall cry and be broken down
But rise yet again without bitter sound
Crawl if it takes it across muddy ground
To make it now real to people around

And who shall stand tall though small they may seem
And share with us all that vision they deem
Woman or man or mankind as a team
Please don’t hold back, share with me your dream.
