Steel Bars Lyrics - Lucky Dube

In the night, I hear you speak 

Turn around, you're in my sleep 

Feel your hands inside my soul 

You're holding on and you won't let go 

I've tried running, but there's no escape 

I can't bend them and I just can't break these 

Steel bars wrapped all around me 

I've been your prisoner since the day you found me 

I'm bound forever till the end of time 

Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine 

Trying hard to recognize 

See the face behind the eyes 

Feel your haunting ways like chains 

'Round my heart they still remain 

I'm still running, but there's nowhere to hide 

My love for you, has gotten locked up inside these 

Steel bars wrapped all around me 

I've been your prisoner since the day you found me 

I'm bound forever till the end of time 

Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine 

And with every step I take 

Every desperate move I make, it's clear to me 

What can all my livin' mean? 

When time itself is so obscene 

When time itself don't mean a thing, I'm still loving you 

Steel bars wrapped all around me 

I've been your prisoner since the day you found me 

I'm bound forever till the end of time 

Steel bars wrapped all around me 

I've been your prisoner since the day you found me 

I'm bound forever till the end of time 

Steel bars 

Steel bars wrapped all around me 

I've been your prisoner since the day you found me 

I'm bound forever till the end of time 

Steel bars 

Steel bars wrapped all around me 

I've been your prisoner since the day you found me 

I'm bound forever till the end of time 

Steel bars wrapped all around me
