If I Could Truly Be Where I Want to Be

If I could truly be where I want to be,

I would not be where I am now…

I would be free and floating out to the sun

going to people and places

I've always wanted to see,

and live through moments

I've always wanted to experience.

If I could truly be where I want to be,

I would not be where I am now…

I would be free and flying out to the moon

trying to see if a man truly lives there

as I prance, leap and continually dance

through the cluster of heavenly bodies,

underneath the constellations of stars.

If I could truly be where I want to be,

I would not be where I am now…

I would be free and floating out to the sea

swimming to my heart's content,

as I discover the wonders of the waters,

perhaps play tag with a dolphin and a whale

or watch the golden sunrise as the ships set sail.

If I could truly be where I want to be,

I would not be where I am now…

I would be free and flying out with the wind

able to weave through whom I wish to go,

teasing those I love with a tousle of their hair,

and caressing their cheeks or kissing their lips

with the wind gently blowing on their face.

If I could truly be where I want to be,

I would not be where I am now…

I would be free and floating out of this world

leaving behind the concept of time and space,

My life will cease with the endwise beat of my heart,

but I will embrace it with everything that I have

for only through my last breath can I finally be where you are.
