I Dance on a String

I dance on a string
And am fully controlled
A puppet who does
Why by master is told
It seems there's no freedom
Left here for me
As I'm put on display
For whole world to see

Making in through life
Day in and day out
Not able to say a word
Unable to shout
To scream at the master
For treatment so cruel
For in the world I live
His word is rule

And those who shall break it
Or spit in his face
Will no longer be here
Completely erased
From the face of the earth
Not left here at all
For when law is broken
Then comes masters call

There must be way out now
Some way to just run
There must be land somewhere
Where nothing's not fun
Somehow I know it
A land that is pure
I know that they have it
What I need: the cure

Is there one that can help me
See what is right
Is that person close by
To tell me what's right
I feel I have found her
Helping me now
And staying with me
Through all of my "how's?"

She stays with me always
Helping defend
My life which I could have
Put to an end
A foolish thought really
That would have been
Because I would have
Lost my best friend

I know it gets better
From master now run
Not looking back
Just straight to the sun
The light that now guides me
She runs here in front
She leads me to places
That no one will grunt

These places of joy
Have become my home
No one sits hungrily
Upon the throne
All know the feeling
Of abandon hurt
But no one will ever
Push one to the dirt
