You Say

Don’t let me change, sweet liberty
Help bring me to my destiny

Red balloon flying in the clear of day,
Let the wind carry you
But choose your own way

Firework, firework
Let the fire inside of you gleam menacing and bright
But then choose when to ignite

Don’t let me change, sweet liberty
Help bring me to my destiny

Sweet dove, high in your nest so full of light
Let your instincts protect your hatchlings
But let them go when they’re ready to take flight

Flower, flower
Let the rain propel you into the sun so high
But decide when to retreat back into the Earth so shy

Liberty, destiny
Work and fail
To become my friends
My enemies
