Cinderella - Does She Really Exist?

I've lived ina prison my entire life;
trying to get to that place I see in my eyes.
I see a place where I am free;
Laughing, loving, and being all I can be.

But yet, I've not been able to reach that mountain top;
That beautiful place, my castle in the sky for which I shop.
All the days of my life I would reach for it;
Struggling and toiling for a drea, but not get.

I've understood the laws that you must pay your own dues;
reap what you sow, and wear your own shoes.
But how much can I take when that just doesn't seem;
that this law was meant for others, and for me, it's just a dream.

I can't seem to win for losing, or however that saying goes;
All I can do is keep on living, cause this sure ain't what I chose.
I want to break free so badly from the chains that have had me bound;
But how is one to break free from the One who has kept them around?

It's you, Oh Lord, whom I have continued to always say 'yes';
But it's sure been difficult, it ain't been easy nonetheless.
Oh how i've said 'yes' to the things unseen and unknown;
And you were the one who would show me and that through me they would be done.
I thought for years I would be rewarded for the things I had done for you;
Being your instrument, a vessel, a sacrifice, but to the world...only a fool.
I see now that there's no getting out of this place;
Because a place it is not, it's an existence, a reflection of your glorious face.

Love is the ingredient for everything I have done;
Love for life, for liberty, and for the lives that would be won.
I can truly say my heart has known pain, laying my life down for others;
But I can take no credit, it's been all you, so you could save my sisters and brothers.

It hurts and hurts, the pain too indescribable to share;
There are no words that can express the weight of burden that I bared.
I see the hurt of the world lie center of your heart;
I know there is no comparison, for all we all must do our part.
To relieve the burden we have all placed upon you;
Dear Lord, I stand before you again, asking, "What else can I do?"

I'll do my share, Oh Lord, by continuing to always say "yes";
It sho ain't no easy road, my Lord, this I must confess.
But if this is the purpose for which you created me from the start;
Please, oh please, Lord relieve my pain and grant me atleast one wish of my heart.
