On bended knee is no way to be free
lifting up an empty cup I ask silently
that all my destinations will accept

the one that’s me so I can breath.
-

Circles they grow and they swallow people

whole half their lives they say goodnight to wive’s

they’ll never know got a mind full of questions

and a teacher in my soul, so it goes...

-
Don’t come closer or I’ll have to go

Holding me like gravity are places that pull

If ever there was someone to keep me at home:

It would be you.

-

Everyone I come across in cages they bought

they think of me and my wandering, but I’m never

what they thought. Got my indignation, but I’m pure

in all my thoughts: I’m alive.

-
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere

underneath my being is a road that disappeared

late at night I hear the trees: they’re singing

with the dead overhead.

-
Leave it to me as I find a way to be.

Consider me a satelite for ever orbiting

I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me.
