Behind The Glass

I’m stuck,
I’m trapped,
I’m lost behind the glass,
Oh how did I get here,
Oh how did I get imprisoned,
Oh how,
Oh how,
I flutter my wings and hit each side,
Up and down,
Side by side,
I see some light and some airway room,
Maybe I can just fly by,
Up above I go,
The closer I get the smaller it gets,
There’s no way out,
I’m trapped I can’t escape,
This is cruel,
This aint right,
Get me out,
Get me out,
Set me free,
For I need to breathe,
Breathe the fresh summer air,
They laugh and smile and touch the glass,
Play around as they take each bite,
A bite of that sweet pie,
Until I die and that pie is bitter.
