Light As a Feather

Leaving old troubles and cutting the tether, spreading these wings still light as a feather Am free as a bird no matter the weather, just floating on air as light as a feather Skimming the hills over lilac and heather, take wing to the clouds so light as a feather Venture that horizon alone or together, onto a new dawning now light as a feather.
