I stretched out my hand
and yet he turned away
He didn't understand
What I had to say
My heart was always open
but still he blocked me off
I knew he needed space
when life got just too tough
He just didn't see the love
that motivated me
He may never ever know now
that I long to see him free (x2)
I felt his frustration,
- hurt with him in his pain
Saw his disappointment
in the son against the grain
Daily frustrations -
boredom, anger, fear
though trapped in a cage
he didn't want to hear
He just didn't see the love
that motivated me
He may never ever know now
that I long to see him free (x2)
The box he made himself
became a personal jail
a sense of duty kept him there
- another neutered male
I know he longs to fly
to soar above the clouds
His creative spirit now
is draped in dismal shrouds
He just didn't see the love
that motivated me
He may never ever know now
that I long to see him free (x2)
I thought I'd wake the monster
coerce him from his cave
To stick my neck out there
was either stupid or too brave
He came out fighting
though dressed in surface calm
and anxiously I smiled,
his fight became my balm
He just didn't see the love
that motivated me
He may never ever know now
that I long to see him free (x2)
Then he turned away again
- retreated even more
I only made him angrier
and he firmly closed the door
He just didn't see the love
that motivated me
He may never ever know
that I longed to see him free
That I longed to see him FREE

At first, when the Jews were liberated from the concentration camps, they did not leave. They were so accustomed to being caged, that it was all they knew. They had forgotten how to live freely.
Keep trying to show him how. It probably hurts him knowing he could be free, but can't. ~ Sara
Your affections will hopefully be found on the pathway.
