Lyric Dance Of The Marionette

Who s that talking? I heard someone speak to me
It came from within, a voice that s crying to be free
But I m a puppet and that is all
My life s the strings and that s all

Free me
I want to live my life as it was planned
I want to take my Father s hand
And I want to know forgiveness
I want to start again
Oh take away these strings
And set me free

How can this be, tell me what is happening
Cause I m just a puppet, I tied myself into these strings
That weave their silk around my life
And lead me on, and that is all

Free me
I want to live my life as it was planned
I want to take my Father s hand
And I want to know forgiveness
I want to start again
Oh take away these strings
And set me free

But if I cut my strings surely I ll only fall down
What manner of joke s this, a puppet changed into a clown?
Don t jest with me I know my place and here I ll stay
To strings I m tied therefore a puppet I must be
I ll only move when my strings pull that part of me
And that is all

Free me
I want to live my life as it was planned
I want to take my Father s hand
Step into the promised land
I want to learn to dance, yes I do

Happy ever after is the way I m going to be
When I let your love come into me
The masks of grief and laughter you ll take away from me
And from these strings you ll forever

Free me
I want to live my life as it was planned
I want to take my Father s hand
And I want to know forgiveness
I want to start again
Oh take away these strings

Free me, I want to live my as it was planned
And so that I can stand
I want to take my Fathers hand
And step into the promised land
I m going to learn to dance, yes I am
