The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,82Please respect copyright.PENANAMcLGQCuArM
yet unseen strings still tether me.82Please respect copyright.PENANANV8Rj81hQe
I dance, I bow, I play my part,82Please respect copyright.PENANAlUt6BLgEvK
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,82Please respect copyright.PENANALCrG2HYqE1
tilts his head and pulls the ties.82Please respect copyright.PENANAjl99rCUYUW
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,82Please respect copyright.PENANARHEtE9w3c1
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,82Please respect copyright.PENANA3FWMrnx2j5
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
