Puppet

Dancing puppet on a string
Don’t you want to dance with me?
Watch me run and jump and sing
Aren’t you jealous that I’m free?

Your limbs obey the every jerk
They make you do what they won’t
Behind the curtain their shadows lurk
They sleep soundly while you don’t

Do you envy I escaped
Their web of strings and hooks
Your future they’ve already shaped
Written in the history books

Oh silly little puppet child
Don’t you ever wonder why?
Your life is kept controlled and mild
While I get to learn to fly

Dancing puppet on a string
Don’t you want to dance with me?
Watch me run and jump and sing
Aren’t you jealous that I’m free?
