Kat Across The Pond

I heard it on the radio...

They say you are foolish
In wanting the sun
Say you are selfish
In learning to run
Tell you that the darkness
Is a blessing in disguise
For you never have to notice
If you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best
To keep you from the light

Those people who surround you only
Want to see you weak enough to crawl
They'll lie for you, decide for you
And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs

You're more than beginning
You're learning to fly
You feel like you're falling
But it passes in time
I hate to see a friend go down
In flames without a song
So I'm waiting by the doorway
But I will not linger long.

(taken from Janis Ian, From Me to You)
