Flightless Burden

Maybe if I felt more useful I wouldn't feel quite useless Maybe if I was told I could be I could have been more then you saw me Perhaps if I was convinced Wouldn't have required the urge false represent Could have been a someone If I could have been anyone More then as i was told I could have Maybe when I was crying and had an ear to speak in Wouldn't have felt so pointless Wouldn't feel the need to lie to myself Because I'm only as useless as everybody else Who was refused the chance to be somebody else I don't want to follow you I just want my right to choose Give be back my wings So I can fly away Fly away home Fly away empty Like a flock of crow Pray a chance to grow So my path in the sky Is free for once Maybe clear the runway So I won't be urged to run away From the bullets your mouth's fire at me And my wings can heal So maybe one day I could fly home.
