Where would I go if I could fly if I could soar way up high if instead of arms, I had wings Would I care for finer things? Where would I go if I could swim and of you, will I still dream would the cold water cover me in the deep green of the sea? To this earth my legs are bound and true love I have not found I want to soar, swim and play I don't like to feel this way As I sit and look outside from the sun I want to hide from the brightness of it's light even the sun can't make it right We are the crown of your creation You gave us these emotions then, tell me why there's much pain for Your creations, please, explain! Make me an eagle or a dolphin instead Take this heavy crown from my head I don't want to feel this pain I can't stand this hurt again!
