I wanna testify!
Beauty bleeds a river
when you can not touch the sky!
And I wanna ask you why!
You can find me dreaming
but you'll never see me cry!
I've been back and forth again,
a place you've never been.
I've been singing bold again,
swimming in my sin.

I've got message for a friend
shining in my dreams,
I've got a way of saying that
the world ain't what it seems.
You've got a right to go ahead
a shepard's meant to lead.
I've got a right to stay behind
a thousand minds to feed.

We've got find a simple way to try,
to learn,
to teach.
We've got pay some overhead
no mercy within reach.
Follow your pride and know somehow
that you have crossed the line.
If it was ever up to you
you'd leave them all behind.

I never thought too much of you.
You left me here to burn.
I'll always remember that
it's none of your concern.
I'm not here to offer you
a list stupid prayers.
I'm the only one left
that knows who really cares.

Picture a room without door,
stuck inside but wanting for more.
Picture a candle without a light,
picture two eyes without a sight.
See what the world's put over you,
whisper a dream and it won't come true.
Challenge the sky and spread your wings,
these are a few of my favorite things!

I want more it never ends,
traveling light with help of some friends.
Whistling a tune that's meant for you,
fishing for keystrokes
typing what's true.

I'm just a child,
I'm helpless now,
I've got to learn to walk.
I've got a be a warrior now,
I've got to learn to talk.
I never thought I had a chance,
I've got to learn to run.
You've got to watch your back right now,
I've started to have fun.

It's easy for me to see you clearly
and be free,
of your lies and deceit.
No problems await
on this date I am great,
and I won't hesitate
you are beat.

I love the 5th stanza. The images are vivid and symbolic. I smiled at the last line " these are a few of my favorite things." The tone is confrontational, love it.
