The Spoonful Escape

Well, I was sittin' in my cell, feelin' low down and blue Dreamin' 'bout the outside world, wishin' I could break through I had a plan in my mind, only one way to go Gonna dig my way out, with a spoon, nice and slow Each night I'd take that spoon, start diggin' in my cell Tryin' to hide the noise, so the guards couldn't tell One spoonful at a time, inch by inch I'd go Hidin' my little secret, underneath my bed below The days turned into weeks, the weeks turned into months Diggin' every night, facin' all those doubts I could hear the train a-comin', rollin' down the line But I kept on diggin', hopin' soon I'd be just fine Then one fateful night, as I dug deep and wide I hit the golden moment, when freedom's on my side I climbed up through that tunnel, saw the stars so bright Escaped from that prison, into the sweet moonlight Now I'm on the run, feelin' wild and free No more walls around me, no more misery I'll keep singin' my song, 'bout my great escape The Spoonful Escape, no longer in that place So if you ever feel trapped, like a prisoner in your mind Just remember my story, leave your fears behind Keep on fightin' for freedom, don't give up the fight With a little bit of hope, you can break out into I'll keep singin' my song, 'bout my great escape The Spoonful Escape, no longer in that place So if you ever feel trapped, like a prisoner in your mind Just remember my story, leave your fears behind Keep on fightin' for freedom, don't give up the fight With a little bit of hope, you can break out into the light.
