I broke free from the chrysalis of my sheltered youth
See me, I was different. I needed significance.
Some’s freedom is limited by how far they choose to dream
and for that reason it’s vision that sets apart the ‘you’ and ‘me’.
I’d started to believe that I could go the distance. You
were motioning persistently – I opened my precocious wings and flew
in the hope the winds that blew would deliver me to prosperity
- The unknown a kingdom soon to be considered in ones destiny -
as I shifted my limbs restlessly, got my feet up off the ground,
and I quickened with intensity while leaving my surroundings.
See me, I’d want to scout every commune and oasis
knowing dreams are often found in the most peculiar places
but I knew I could make it if I reached upright and strained.
The pursuit of our favourite things gets easier by the day
to achieve and I’ve obtained mine while you‘ve sat beneath the sky
forget the shadow I leave behind, just remember the fact you’ve seen me fly…
