Light and free I choose to be
Singing songs and fancy free
Thoughts flew easily up thru me
Each unfolding a new leaf for all to see
Upwards grew beauty so true
This tree divine grew unassigned
Reaching the heavens and spreading in kind
Till I heard the hate that binds
Bound and tied it crushed my mind
Devouring me through their demise
Pangs and tries of desperate cries
Suffocate inside this black void
Angry voices spurn the fate
Of a people led astray
Engulfing all our starry eyes
Creating a plague in our sky
It seeps inside
Rotting the root and soiling the truth
And only those who dare to dream
Escape the tendrils of such foils.
