I been a prisoner here, been here for a million years
Could be here for a million more
Open up the gate before it's too late
Won't someone help me knock down the door
Is anybody out there
Does anybody have the key
Won't somebody come along and set me free
Won't you release me, I’m down on my knees
Won't you release me, please, please, please
I want to let it all go, I want to give it all up
But I guess I just don't have the guts
I want to be strong, don't care if I'm wrong
No ifs, no ands, and no buts
Wouldn't hurt you to help me
In fact I would do more than ask
You might like to if you are up to the task
Won't you release me from this troubled place
Won't you release me and send me to a state of grace
I want to hang it all up, I want to pack it all in
The question is why haven't I
I want to say, See ya
I want to say farewell
I want to kiss you all goodbye
You could make it easier, if you'd pitch right on in
Plan a little send off, best to leave you with a grin
