Escape

Let me climb to the top
of the highest tree
let me blow with the breeze
and so feel free
let me scale the highest mountain
and sail the endless sea
let me escape to eternity

Le me be the clear sky
each puffy cloud
let me stand erect
and never bowed
let me never be trampled
in the crowd
help me stand tall
let me be proud

Let me not be scared
when nighttime arrives
let me treasure each moment
just being alive
let me thank God
when each day is done
for each thing accomplished
each hardship won
let me be thankful
for being, and free
let me thank God
because I am - me
