The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,204Please respect copyright.PENANAawXWwkXmhb
yet unseen strings still tether me.204Please respect copyright.PENANAykUJ6vBgwB
I dance, I bow, I play my part,204Please respect copyright.PENANA9oCZwZ80zE
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,204Please respect copyright.PENANAbndvGJE9Ml
tilts his head and pulls the ties.204Please respect copyright.PENANASb74H6RkI2
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,204Please respect copyright.PENANA2orc1B2UK6
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,204Please respect copyright.PENANAlgQiVj2d0r
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
