To Fashion Wings And Someday Fly

The young that run from duty cry

"There is no one can tell me I

Am not allowed to even try

To fashion wings and someday fly."

We used to dream up in the sky

Now the kids can't answer "why?"

They're judged as small as grades are high

No need to learn, only reply

No need to think, just taught to lie

What joy is there to just get by?

Just means we wake up with a sigh

And fight our world that's gone awry

That's not life lived, that's how we die

So no more will my life be dry

My dreams won't be just lullaby

Ill reach for stars and even pry

Open the bars that hold us nigh

To stare the ******** in the eye

And scream that I am free
