You’ve come of age
Now you know more than you could ever use or lose
You’re up on me
Now every thing that I have entered gets abused
And when you’re through
I’ll try and find another crack to see or wiggle through

Flying free is not so easy
With eyes wide open and I see that I’m not dreaming
It’s all so familiar now
The landscape and the scenery
Though I look to be a little older
Still the street signs are all the same
Still the same

You’re out of sight
And I feel a deep sense of yearning eating me
What’s eating you?
Could always become my favorite thought or thing to do
Adds up to two
Every time a piece of me divides the blue

Flying free is not so easy
Because the earth is firmly clinging to my soul

Dramatic, and a strange natural rythm to it! Like it a lot.

Sometimes - no, almost always - setting someone free is the precursor to unlocking the door to one's own freedom to find happiness within oneself and one's own walls - but then one has to pick up the key, put it in the lock and consciously turn the key in the lock and glory in the sunshine (or rain or wind) outside.
