A Girl (Redefined)

Reach out into me
leave this withered place

venture out beyond the sea
take flight above this tattered waste

Break free of Love and Stone
journey uninhibited and alone

race into glorious sunset
disturb the world in all its unease
make your notes lest we forget
uproot all things believed

Leave it all behind and below
rise high and let the world fall

Do not fear to experience and grow
stop listening and just call

life is too short and too hard
to be held down by the stars
stop watching and start doing
don't live through chains or bars

Go alone or come with me
just go, go, be free

Leave something behind
choose something to find

because you are not theirs or mine
you are free and redefined
