Please Release Me Let Me Go

Deep in this trunk a maiden sleeps
Awaiting the time she is released
When will the artist let her out
Her body is beautiful without a doubt.

She dreams of the day she's freed
What are her hopes; what does she need?
What is the destiny of a wooden carving,
Is she realistic in what she's yearning.

She wishes for life and love
Just beauty is not enough;
But such a wish is in vain
A wooden figure she will remain

Will she find she is adored
Winning a prestigious art award
But will that satisfy her soul
Or leave her heart with an empty hole

She will join a beautiful throng
To an art lover she will belong
But is this the freedom that she craves
Art works are treated like slaves
 
Bought and sold to the highest bidder
Put on display for experts to consider
She may be loved from a distance
 But what is the meaning of her existence?
