PRISONER
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: nameless faces
pass in dull rotation.
like cars on a highway,
hello and goodbye they say.
I was a prisoner
but I didn't know.
I was in chains.
they didn't show.
I. I wasn't looking.
I was at peace.
I wasn't thinking.
now thoughts never cease.
I think of tomorrow
and how it will be.
I think of the future
for her and for me.
CHORUS: I was a prisoner
but I didn't know.
I was in chains.
they didn't show.
I was a prisoner
and I didn't care.
but now when I'm with her,
I'm walking on air.
II. when I first saw her,
I didn't know what lay before me.
nobody knows
when love will come along.
there was a pathway
but I couldn't tell.
I couldn't fly
until I fell.
CHORUS: I was a prisoner
but I didn't know.
I was in chains.
they didn't show.
I was a prisoner
and I didn't care.
but now when I'm with her,
I'm walking on air.
(repeat chorus)
