I have no privacy trapped in here

Counting snow flakes year to year

I'm ogled and shaken in every way

Please get me out I fervently pray

Let me feel the warmth of the sun

I want to laugh and skip and run

I'd love to tan on a sunny shore

Don't like this glass cage any more

Many hands have fondled me

I'm sad, I've lost my dignity

Just give me freedom from your wanton stare

I'm eager for a chance out there

Alas, this is my terrible fate

I'm praying that its not too late

To see the world before I break

And turn into a stagnant lake
