Moonset (2008)

This song is written by that part of me which feels used.

So when I was stifled writhing
With the trapped agony of a caged bird
I searched for a moon floating
Free amongst the shining skies.

I flew flapping my new wings of joy
Exploring if this fly was worth a try
For it sure liberated my stifled self
From the walled home in which I was caged.

My soul melted as I touched the moon
My new home was my family
I touched my father, my mother and son
And I learnt the meaning of freedom.

I spent my time wisely though
For soon I was told by my earthen folks
That my cage is broken and I can field
A new life breathing how moon told me.

So here I go and thank you moon
I'm going back to earth a little too soon
I promise to leave you a smarter being
Who'll not dream with closed eyes like a foolish would

Who won't shut his mind and open arms wide
Embracing any caged bird who'd fish to fly
And who'll foresee what i've taught thee
That moon is a planet where there is no life
