Bound up in chains
Constricting our brains
Encouraging comfort
While condemning pain
Trapped in the old
Unwilling to change
Mislabeling Difficult
With the name of Impossible
Perilous journey
No courage to try
Deceived into thinking
To do is to die
But if all of your heart
And your sweat and your flesh
Sings true to the dream
You can’t fail the test
