I Taught The Light to Bend

Every dawn looks the same. I chased the sun. I pleaded with the skies. I waited behind my watching eyes. I needed to break the knot. I wasn’t made for straight lines. I taught the light to bend, when the wind was going my way ... Going my way! I waited until the wind leaned in, To blow my way and follow. The sky leaned in; It knew my name, but the sun's light refused to bend. I grabbed the rays in shaking fists, Wove them round my wrists, Pulled them in close, 'til they broke, And shone a new path for me, etched by the wind, now chasing behind me. I taught the light to bend, when the wind was going my way ... Going my way! You think you know the game Until the light won’t change. Your path stays the same again, until the wind changes, and you bend the light to your direction. I taught the light to bend, when the wind was going my way ... Going my way! You can't control the sky for long, Or hold a cloud fixed in place. Until the wind changes - Fills your sails behind you. I taught the light to bend, when the wind was going my way ... Going my way!
