Could it be?
A lock, without a key?
Keeping us from reaching the sea?

A sea where dreamers dream?
A sea where sailors scream?
A sea where we can blow off steam?

Who would do such a thing?
And keep us in this brutal boxing ring?
Where every tear we cry will sting?

Sometimes, the world seems so restrained from success and relaxation and just plain happiness.
