Cut My Gold Chains

Over the hills
Lives a queen
So beautiful
Shes not to be seen

She lives with her prince
Wrapped in gold chains
Alone with her millions
Forever remains

Her castle flows with roses
She never cries a tear
Shes never seen the real world
Doesn't no her own fear

Heard of the commoner's
But never actually seen
Her father says shes to royal
And a beautiful queen

That the commoners were hideous
And a shame to the world
And that she must meet one
Because shes a royal girl

She wanted to know more
She was amused by his words
She wanted to break out
And wanted to learn

So while the castle slept
She dressed her self pain
She climbed over the walls quite
And cut of her gold chains

Threw the town she fled
Not wanting to be caught
She stumbled upon a town
Full of amazing all sorts

People stared at her beauty
As it has never seen before
The light came to show
Still wanting to show more

She saw an old man
Wallowing away
Muttering words to God
Not hearing hat he says

His clothes were all torn
And he was so thin
His hair had whitened and gray
What was he feeling within

Her heart raced in fear
And she saw a man run
Followed by armed men
Heard a shot; pulled by a gun

The blood streamed by her feet
Never had seen this red fluid
Saw someones breathe stop
What is it he or they did

A women crying with a child
A pot my her feet
A few Penny's shattered in
She nodded in greet

The women stared never before
And asked for spare change
Asked her who she was
And why was she strange

The Queen looked away
Her first tear fell
The pain of the world was coming
Anyone could tell

A black person hung high
People beating him with a stick
His body swung life less
And she bent to be sick

She ran back to her castle
And into her fathers arms
He held her tight asked why
what is all this harm

He puzzled a look
behind these walls i see pain
I can see all the hurt inside
And they dont own gold chains

I dressed in beautiful silk
But what makes me so different dad
I still feel their pain inside
Why do i feel sad

What and me feel this way
Please explain i need to know
He lost his grip
And she let go

what you saw today
Was something you should not
Its the world out there
That image never forgot

I keep you safe in here
So you dont feel pain like they do
I keep you from that world
Because i love you

Tears flooded from her eyes
please daughter dont cry
She thought to her self
Why?

She wanted to live her life
Not behind a brick wall and beauty
She wanted to live like the rest
She wanted to be free

Whispered her Fathers pain
He never wanted her to see
He never wanted to hear the words
please don't do this to Me

I want to be like them
So i can feel the pain
So if you love me; let me free
and cut my gold chain
