See Like a Dove
Let me be free from the way I was made to see
Let me see like a dove, only then will I see true
I surrender my cleverness, my thinkingness
my degree, my religion and my chains
Now would you cast scales from my eyes?
Would you baptize me in holy thoughts?
Surround me with opulence, wake me in softness,
Comfort me in golden cloth, delicate perfume
Baroque ceilings that touch the sky
But please, give me no burden, give me no cage
I sold heaviness many words ago
I am yours and I am a dove with desire to fly, you know
To live lightly and royally and be free
How can you contend, when you dreamed this into me?
Keep the French windows wide open,
I leave from the balcony tonight
As I rise in flight, your wind carries me peacefully
wherever these wings long to be
