Glass Prisoner

I'm a genie in a bottle
looking though the glass
the brass on the side
and the chains on my heart

I'm a genie in a bottle
the power is mine to give
though the choice
isn't mine to make in my heart

I'm a genie in a bottle
you take me out
down from the shelf
dusting off my glass prison

I'm a genie in a bottle
wishing for my freedom
wishing to keep the power
keep it for my own choices.
