You can’t stop the music, nobody can stop the music. Take the cold from snow, tell the trees, don’t grow, tell the wind, don’t blow, 'cause it’s easier. No, you can’t stop the music, nobody can stop the music. Take the spark from love, make the rain fall up 'cause that’s easier to do. ---

You’ve been a prisoner, baby, Been a prisoner all your life, Held captive in an alien world where they hold your need for love to your throat, like a knife, And they make you jump, And they make you do tricks, They take what started off such an innocent heart, and they break it, and break it, and break it until it almost can’t be fixed. Well, I don’t know when and I don’t know how, I don’t know how long it’s gonna take, I don’t know how hard it will be, but I know you will go free. ---
