Finally

How can it be that a wall limits my sight and yet I'm finally able to see,
How can chains weight down my body
And I finally understand what it is to be free...
How can my memory be filled with madness and I finally begin to dream,
How can a pen be my only voice
And I finally find th courage to scream...
How can I sit like a beast in a cage
And I finally discover the man inside,
How could I have been a Chicano all my life but it took coming to,hell to know pride...
How can a man sacrifice is soul and finally learn to cry,
How can an eagle lose his wings and finally learn to fly..
