Free Me

Like that goldfish in its bowl
All fenced in
Lost in the darkest forest
So many paths

Autumn colors
Like to a desert, a throng of orange
I feel like a candle lit at both ends
Time is not on my side
I need a key for the door in front of me

I want to walk beside the waves,
Prance about the water
But I can’t get out of this box

I need a framework to make those bigger things
To watch the flames without fear
CoColorsill run into each other
When I break free

But the cub cannot conquer the lion
Even though he is eager

Why is it so complicated?
Why doesn't my compass point North?

I want to stand and see the sun
Or the boats in the small harbor want to find the prize pumpkin
And surf the highest wave
I want to scale the highest building
Free fall survive,
Rejoice in life

But I can’t, I still see in black and white
Why can’t I take off?
Feel another’s love?
Hide behind a tree and watch the snowballs fly
I want to stride that icy ocean
I want to get up there.
I want to fly.

I don’t want to blend in.
I don’t want to see the same things.
Let me out.

I want to see the stars.
I want to see the sun lit pool.

I want to see the camel
With a cap and nothing less
I want to see Giza,
The clouds in the sky.

Get me off this hamster wheel.
I’m running, but going nowhere.
Let me climb the cliffs.
Let me finish my race.

Don’t cross the lines.
Don’t bar my way.
Nothing will stand in my way.

Let the sun find me,
Even through the thickest tree.

Let me be different.
Let me follow my own path.
Let me go the other way.

Let me feel the ripples in the sand
Or the flowers at my feet.

Take away the fire.
Stop the burning.

Let things be more than they appear.
Let the dandelion be blown away.
And let my road be lit up,
Set out from the rest.

Let me place my footprints
For others to follow – let them.
Let me fly the kite – call others to the wind.

There is no challenge big enough,
No hill too high,
No wave too big.

I’ll beckon when I walk the Moon
And show that I made it.
You’ll see me become water.
When I tackle that wave,
Move with it, become it.

No rain will put me down.
No storm will scare me,
And when I look out
You can look out with me.
Let yourselves feel the freedom.
Be who you are meant to be.
Together or alone

We can change.
We can make it.

Let me go.
