If I Were Free

I f I were free I would visit you everyday
And kiss you every time I wanted to.
If I were free I would speak the words I wanted
And not be afraid to do so.
If I were free I would fly
And never come back

I would bring your memory
And your image to life.

I would steal the glow in your eyes
And use them to see beyond the moment.

Well, dear,
That dream seems too far away to reach.
The chains of slavery
Seem too hard to break.
My heart beats behind bars.

But if I were free, dear,
Be sure I would seize your soul
And keep it with me.

If I were free I would die.
