Untethered

UNTETHERED

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

STILL THE NIGHT, DEEP SEA BLUE THE SKY

STEEPED IN STARLIGHT

BATHED IN MOONLIGHT

WE WAIT WE WATCH

SHARING THIS DREAM

IMMERSED IN IT'S WONDROUS MAGIC

CURIOSITIES IT SEEMS

WORLDS BEYOND US

WHERE SHOULD WE START

THEY'VE BEEN HERE AND GONE

LEFT WITH THE DAWN

WHO DID THEY TAKE ALONG

THE BRIDGE FROM HERE TO THERE

EXTENDS BEYOND THE REALM

WE MUST KNOW WHAT AWAITS US

AS WE DREAM

SOMETHING WE HAVE SEEN

AN ANCIENT MEMORY

BURNED INTO OUR BEING

TIMELESS STILL AND SILENT

THE HOURS OF THE STARS

STANDING ALL ALONE

VIGILANT OF THE NIGHT

KEEPER OF ALL YOU SEE

WHERE IS IT THAT YOU'RE GOING

WHERE WILL YOU BE

IS THIS THE WAY

IS THAT THE LIGHT

 WE SAIL EFFORTLESSLY

THROUGH THE NIGHT

CROSS OUR EARTHLY BOUNDS

JUST ONE GATEWAY

THIS PATH WE'RE ON

WE WERE NEVER ALONE

KEPT ON GOING

ALL ALONG WE KNEW THE WAY

UNTETHERED UNRESTRAINED

DESIRE WOKE AGAIN

THEY CAN'T DOUSE YOUR FIRE

GOOD TO SEE YOU HELD OUT

FOR SO LONG

YOU COULD TELL THE THINGS

 THEY TOLD YOU WERE ALL WRONG 

THEY TURNED OUR WORLD

UPSIDE DOWN

USED US ALL FOR GAIN

 SEE OUR FREEDOMS DIE

ONE BY ONE

SEE OUR CUSTOMS PUSHED ASIDE

LUST GREED AND POWER SATISFIED
