I sit here for all to see
time will never let me be
there is just a shell in place
required looks upon my face
puppet shows are truly sad
so many strings so many had
sure make me smile as if on cue
I will never again belong to you
you forgot you had your chance
to make my heart sing and dance
instead you laid it on the floor
now I won't look back anymore
A shell sits quiet in my stead
the dreams are alive inside my head
my heart belongs somewhere else
my love for me well it now dwells
in a place you will never find
for I have left that all behind
I walk free to my own songs
I found out now where I belong
distant shores my spirit flight
longing waiting for the night
when I can go where I am whole
where I can glimpse my very soul
Hold my heart in your strong hands
it matters not where we will land
my life is such a happy place
I feel your hands now on my face
I am not a puppet I am now me
no more strings for all to see
my feet are dancing wild and free
I ask now Can You See Me?
