The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,196Please respect copyright.PENANABSLk8y7krm
yet unseen strings still tether me.196Please respect copyright.PENANAI4qCJkXPuE
I dance, I bow, I play my part,196Please respect copyright.PENANAfKMhnbGWum
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,196Please respect copyright.PENANAQmnaCaE9lR
tilts his head and pulls the ties.196Please respect copyright.PENANABpAEYuiehO
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,196Please respect copyright.PENANAOd6kbgNnDO
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,196Please respect copyright.PENANAIMjltzfJCU
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
