Tied Up Wings
Twine my wrist so I can't grasp, how much time had past
Tie my ankles so I can't run, from the mistake I've become
Throw a noose around my neck, throw me in the deepest lake
Clip an anchor to the ends, of each of my wary limbs
So I may have no chance to learn to swim, watch me gargle gasps of air
Do you think if maybe I had a chance, I could be removed from a trance
From my head and to my toes, I will see how deep the river goes
And by the time I drift to shore, I will tell you of the tour
Shortly after I drift away, as you watch my spirit release from binds today, and watch my soul fly away and soar
