"no Strings

Here we are floating down a walkway with no strings..
Arms raised up high but we know its not just a fling..
Can't hide emotions from the crowd because its to 
easy to read..
Pacing our time so that evil ones have no time to feed..
Gifted souls who see the cross and know just how to read
A smile, a glare from across the room might tell a different
tale..
A constant battle of power in this endless game we can't fail..
A puppet dangling over a stage without a word to sing..
Moves right to left and soft words ring out all done with no strings
