My Life Is a Window

My feet are stuck in the mire
It's hard to see through the fog
I want to go through the portal
But I'm held inside like a dog

I, so much, want to break free
And ride on a current of wind
Moving about through the trees
The mountains and valleys within

My blood that flows like a river
My mind that spins like a top
Combine to cause aggrevation
From desires that just won't stop

I know there's a world of adventure
It's out there waiting for me
So many places to travel
So many places to be

If I could just break the boundries
That keep me held here inside
I'd count every mile on the highway
I'd ride and I'd ride and I'd ride

I'd watch the sun as it rises
Then go till I see it set
I'd travel up North and venture down South
And stop when I have no regrets

But for now my life is a window
I use it to look at the sky
The clouds are my dreams of desire
Just silently passing me by
