Alley

One day you'll find me
Ascending the alleys
Of the city that raised me
Tending toward the sun
All gravity undone
And I'm free

One day you'll see me
Floating through the air
Rising like a prayer
On its journey
So easily
Finally unpinned
Like a feather in the wind
And I'm free

I will be high above
City rooms
I'll fly into the sky
My hair all covered in blooms

One day you'll know me
Shimmering above
Like Marc Chagall in love
I'll be moving, be sailing around
Unchained and unbound
Be a mile off the ground
And I'm free

I will be high above
City rooms
I'll fly into the sky
My hair all covered in blooms

For now I am grounded
I'm here and astounded
I'm here and the Earth is my home

One day you'll find me
Ascending the alleys
Of the city
