Gilded Cage — A New Song About Freedom
I’m delighted to share my new song, “Gilded Cage.” It is a reflection on the invisible cages we can create around ourselves—and the inner courage it takes to open the door, spread our wings, and choose freedom. Listen below.
[Chorus]
Tragedy looms, a forced hand deals
Strength undoes what the heavens sealed
The strongest voices, a rising plea
From the weakest souls, yearning to be free
The strongest hold a truth untold
While the weakest stumble, brave and bold
A strange, eerie screech, unbound and raw
She lays in the soil, defying every law
Awaiting those she drew to her side
As she cleaves to her master, with nowhere to hide
His graciousness unrelenting, a gilded cage
Her unacknowledged frailty, turning a new page
Wielding a sword she can barely lift
Her breast heaves, a dangerous gift
Decapitating the hand that once fed
Leaving us to wonder, what lies ahead?
Where have we gone, from paths we once knew?
Was it not that women, saw clearer through?
Woe to us all, for thoughts so strange and deep
As the seeds of chaos, begin to creep.
