If I wanted to Dance
So if I wanted to Dance,
 Would you let me?
 Would you untie my wings 
 And let me fly?
 
 I know you’re weary,
 I know that I’m your enemy,
 I know you can’t trust me,
 Try this once for me?
 
 If I wanted to sing,
 Would you let me? 
 Would you remove the barriers of speech,
 And let me charm the birds?
 
 I’m really quite harmless,
 This I assure you,
 I’m not supposed to be here,
 I don’t want to fight you.
 
 If I wanted to hold your hand,
 Would you let me?
 Would you unlock the cage,
 Just for a moment.
 Here’s my hand,
 See? I’m not all that bad,
 Unlock the cage, please,
 I can’t stay in here forever
 
 Come closer boy
 I’m not your enemy 
 Come closer dear,
 See? There’s nothing to fear.
 
 I’m harmless, this I swear,
 I just want to be free,
 Come closer boy
 Come close
