I Wanna Be Free
I wanna walk up a mountain
swim in the wide blue sea,
walk across life’s busy highway
just to taste of that which is me.
I wanna drive on tracks of steel
pilot an aeroplane,
sledge on slopes of ice crystal snow
be a fireman of a steam train.
Lord please grant me mobility
attach my legs an arm,
I am a freak of chemistry
a product of a human-farm.
There was so much morning sickness
the tablet in array,
yet society lives a lie
chained in subjective disarray.
I wanna travel to the moon
trial zero gravity,
go where there is no resistance
fill the void my life’s cavity.
I wanna have a chance to live
the human way a wife,
to love and cherish have children
normality without the strife.
I wanna sing a hopeful song
forget there’s so much worse,
tell don’t take all things for granted
nor heed that of the siren’s curse.
I wanna earn an emotion
feel the way you all do,
build a bridge to understanding
and give you all my point of view.
