The Lantern's Glow

[Verse] Feathers matted eyes squinted tight Barn walls creakin' through the night Lonely clucker dreams of flight Only seen that lantern light [Verse 2] Dusty hay and muck on the floor Never seen the skies before Wings clipped way too sore Heart bleeds feathers implore [Chorus] Oh the lantern's glow it's all it knows Hope flickers dim in the shadow's throws Freedom screams but never shows In that barn the lantern's glow [Verse 3] Daily peckin' drowsy days Master's shadow cruel maze Nothin' but a barnyard phase Life's a trap endless chase [Bridge] Cluckin' with sorrow silent weep Dreams ain't meant for the sheep Freedom's just a distant leap Lantern’s whisper puts to sleep [Chorus] Oh the lantern's glow it's all it knows Hope flickers dim in the shadow's throws Freedom screams but never shows In that barn the lantern's glow
