Breaking open the tightly barred prison gates br Shattering the close fitted iron shackles br His mind flew into freedom's alpine heights br To his beloved home where love nestles br What thrill to be united with his folks br They would dance in delight to see him back br How the day would be spent in lively talks br His children, would dash down to kiss his cheek br From his beloved's eye, tears would roll down br Saline drops of joy, so hard to control br The house then in great merriment would drown br Love's sweet embrace would soothe his famished soul br br Alas! He knew it was just a reverie br Yet it suffused him with new energy!br br Valsa Georgebr br
