Strong arms for a boy of ten
Scribbling in water, with a branch for a pen
Royal swans, white wings to the wind
He met her there, where beauty had been
Looming frost on the twisted tree
Are you as lost as you want to be?
Awaken eagle from your dreamless sleep
The cliff grew tall, and the crevice deep
Frogs were singin' at the podium
Sirens were croakin' to the ancient drum
Draped in cloth with a mask to see,
Are you as free as you want to be?
Morning glories stolen in their sleep
Like half told stories voiced eagerly
Frayed stampedes treading carefully
When the wind blows, they move with me
Colorful shadows, as bright as the reef
Do you see what you want to see?
