[hometext] => You tell me.
[bodytext] => I see you standing there On the street corner. Your head pointed toward the sky. Your eyes are so clear Bright transparent windows. I know what your are thinking If you had wings, you could fly Far away from us all. You could leave this hellhole And be part of the sky again. Even though it has been so long Since we plucked you from the sky And ripped your wings off your back You still remember the sky And the wind lifting you higher. You will never forget those things. But we cannot let you leave. Not after this long. You are my wingless bird now. My pet kept in a cage That keeps trying to fly away. You are mine now. Not one of the sky and the clouds You belong in the cage by my bed Not flying through the air as fast as you can. You will never go back to the sky now.
