Behind the wall ,Wait till they pass ,step on the crate Escape

Over the fence passed the gun towers, run toward the woods Escape

Through the woods just as planned, can you hear the sirens

The lights are scanning will they find him bring him back inside

Punished, beaten, possible death ,fear, heart beating loudly

He hears the dogs , the flashlight are coming what now

Only thoughts are to escape

Run, run faster ,even faster now can he make it

Freedom lies two miles from here at the unmanned border

The soldiers are on his heals, but the border, his freedom is close

A shot rings out he is hit, but he falls on the other side of the line that separates countries

The man has got his freedom, he has made the escape he had planned

He dies a free man.
