grant me a set of wings
on my back like a dove's
and break me from life's strings.
If I could have a gift
send me a sea
to send me adrift
to a dream of you and me.
If life grants me one present
take me away to the past
and give me once change to repent
on the memories that I have amassed.
Sometimes I want to be cast away
and feel the gentle ocean spray
I know why the caged bird sings
for when the truth's revealed
freedom rings.
Lots of lovely lines here, Chad. I especially like the idea in this one:
