Hope

I would fly along with sparrows,
mirror the sharp turns of the fish
Twisting and turning all around
if only you would grant my wish

For nature is and all that was
and whatever will come to be
Rescue me from humanity
so that I can be truly free

I do not want to end my life
nor do anything so harsh
but escape this life I live in
to exit this unhealthy farce

So please let me fly with eagles
soaring up in the skies so free
Gazing down upon rich, fair lands
would be another world for me

For I am trapped within these walls
in a body that will not last
Dreaming of a different life
now far gone in the distant past

No sun shines here, no natures view
of pleasures now there are too few
It seems my soul is dying fast
there's nothing left for me to do

So hear my plea and rescue me
for inside beats a light of hope
That there is more to come my way
than lay here now and merely cope

-----------

A new day dawning new to write
eyes now see a different sight
Could this be now a prayer come true?
a brighter future comes to light

I stretch my wings and sing a song
for I am free at last to fly
Shackles broken I am free
to fly high in the Summers' sky
