Enjoying the scenes

Can I control my destiny
Can I heal the rest of me 
Will I find peace someday 
Grow wings and fly away

I’ll let dark turn to light 
Grow bright despite the fight 
Will my cages that hold my pain 
Let freedom open what they contain 

Will the clouds come down and surround me 
Will I end the tragedy I dream 
Is life all it seems 
Will I live beyond my means 
Or will I lay in comfort at the seams 

Will I let the wind blow off my shoulders 
Or will I begin to grow colder 
A frozen heart is always bitter 
When she’s hurt the lip will quiver 
But the tears she’ll wipe away 
Hold in all she needs to say 

For fear of life taking her under 
Lightning strikes then comes the thunder 
Soon she soaked and falling down 
Aimlessly crawling around 
On the cold hardened ground 

She will look up to the stars
Refuse to live within these bars 
So she fights and carries on 
Searching for where her heart has gone 
Searching for her lost dreams 
Finding comfort in the scenes
