The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,111Please respect copyright.PENANApcxJGcpeNT
yet unseen strings still tether me.111Please respect copyright.PENANAqvVlt7bMh0
I dance, I bow, I play my part,111Please respect copyright.PENANA4zr1DPmJQl
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,111Please respect copyright.PENANAEduuigPpLn
tilts his head and pulls the ties.111Please respect copyright.PENANAfrug7LYPbx
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,111Please respect copyright.PENANA41Rt2ThzEX
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,111Please respect copyright.PENANAHOKVaeb9TZ
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
