If I wanted to Dance
So if I wanted to Dance,
Would you let me?
Would you untie my wings
And let me fly?
I know you’re weary,
I know that I’m your enemy,
I know you can’t trust me,
Try this once for me?
If I wanted to sing,
Would you let me?
Would you remove the barriers of speech,
And let me charm the birds?
I’m really quite harmless,
This I assure you,
I’m not supposed to be here,
I don’t want to fight you.
If I wanted to hold your hand,
Would you let me?
Would you unlock the cage,
Just for a moment.
Here’s my hand,
See? I’m not all that bad,
Unlock the cage, please,
I can’t stay in here forever
Come closer boy
I’m not your enemy
Come closer dear,
See? There’s nothing to fear.
I’m harmless, this I swear,
I just want to be free,
Come closer boy
Come close
