The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,112Please respect copyright.PENANARaVKmN4vq0
yet unseen strings still tether me.112Please respect copyright.PENANA41LQ22dyGV
I dance, I bow, I play my part,112Please respect copyright.PENANAFwA9oY9i6I
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,112Please respect copyright.PENANAlHMOc4ZBqz
tilts his head and pulls the ties.112Please respect copyright.PENANA3fpxASqJAe
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,112Please respect copyright.PENANAl9TfGWy2Go
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,112Please respect copyright.PENANAiAvfPPIll7
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
