The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,98Please respect copyright.PENANAcfdLKVkgXw
yet unseen strings still tether me.98Please respect copyright.PENANAIhoLIoUnTG
I dance, I bow, I play my part,98Please respect copyright.PENANAiXgu9WfgpZ
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,98Please respect copyright.PENANApejTED4xtX
tilts his head and pulls the ties.98Please respect copyright.PENANAyMutb0E6DW
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,98Please respect copyright.PENANAiJcXq1YOQ9
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,98Please respect copyright.PENANAGz5JqSK8wf
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
