I'm tired of this place,

This barren earth.

I'm tired of getting

Pushed and ordered around.

Just let me run free,

Let me fly across the sky

Let me spread my wings

To their full length.

Let me stain the sky red

With the tears from my eyes,

Let me soar beyond

The stars and the moon and the sun.

My fragile wings

Will take me far away

From the people who tie me

To the ground.
