Across The Lines

I’m breaking my prison walls tonight:
My destination’s across the lines
To the places no one dared to go.
No patience, no taking things slow.
I’ll no longer ignore these signs;
I will rise to reclaim my right.

Now is my time – I’ll wander free
Across the lines, where none have gone
See the eagle overhead – that’s me
Being everything that I can be
Out there somewhere all alone
Scripting my dreams into destiny

I won’t fade into the background
Nor live in my own fantasies
Across the lines my kingdom waits
For me to take control of my Fates
To wrest my demons into peace
And banish my fears underground.

In that place, all is MY power
Across the lines only I exist
Nothing can haunt my cares there save
Hopes resurrected from the grave
Then I’ll breathe life into the mist
Of desires with renewed vigour.

So close, still trying to reach
Across the lines, where I belong
To escape from the glimm’ring shadows
Away into the darkest night’s glow
Until tonight, I’ll chant my song
An anthem to the lines I’ll breach.
