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 |
