Freedom's Flight

Our arms are reaching, chained to the ground.
Our hearts beseeching with not a sound.

Only You can bring us to freedom.
Only You can sing us a welcome.

Amidst the darkness wing to us love.
Bring us Your lightness flown from above.

We reach to the sky with heav'nward gaze.
On You we rely. Our souls we raise.

From this tomb, O God, deliver us.
From this stony womb, Spirit birth us.

Let us rise with You! Let us take flight!
Our chains we eschew! We claim our birthright!

    hmm.. this was very interesting. the rhyme seemed a tiny bit forced in a part or two, but i liked it a lot. can't pinpoint exactly why, but i realy did. thanks for entering.
