Spirited Away

As my spirit yearns to be free

To be as high as an ancient tree

For miles and miles I would see

Nobody else, only me

But my body keeps me abound

Tethered to Earth, no freedom found

Crowded by all the people around

The feeling of freedom all but drowned.

I constantly dream of a future near

Where everything that I hold dear

Lives in a place with no fear

My drive so strong, my goals are clear

And so my spirit yearns to be free

To be as high as an ancient tree

For miles and miles I would see

Only those I love, close to me.
