Desires

Let me out of this room.
Let me see the sun and the sky

And the way all the birds fly

And the moon and the night

And the stars and the flight

Of the planes and the bees

The waves and the seas

The boats and the fish 

And the way we all wish

To feel what we know

And know it is so

I want to feel the spark

Of life, and then hear "hark

The herald angels sing" 

And to ask how long is a piece of string

To learn and laugh and walk and run

To leap and spring, and be number one

I want to become what I was meant to be

And I'll live out my destiny

For fate and death is now the same

And as I lose I win the game

I want to feel the pleasing ache

Of the fiery flame

And the heart that breaks
