So long have I been waiting,
For this to come through,
So long has it been,
To see I'm starting anew,
The struggles I have experienced,
Throughout my life,
On my knees in despair,
A Christmas treat to the system
A bombardment of truth under the missile-toe
A message to the cowards that kiss up to you
A reward for your administration
Tethers to the forest floor
I'm as gounded as the roots of the trees,
Yet I fall
Skyward!
Going up and up and up,
Ever higher
So high I see the colours
Of the sea and dessert
It’s astonishing
How we can change
Within the blink of an eye
Just with a simple change
A different perspective on life
Inside a song
A thousand dreams
Dwells within the heart
A simple thing
Just like a seed
Can rip it all apart.
So for every curtain
You must call
To protect your songs
