I want to fly across the sky like superman
Fly as far as I can get from here
I feel like a prisoner in my own home
Locked away from everyone and everything
Anything that would take my focus away
From the role I am here to play
I provide a missing ingredient I suppose
But oh me, oh my why do I stay
She is my child, though grown up
A mother in her own right and yet
I've tried to let her fly but she won't do it
She holds on tight, holding me down
With all her might, I want to fly but I can't
I made her and I am responsible
Besides I do not care to become a hermit
Not again, her children give me purpose
Her need keeps me strong, yet sometimes
I want to fly as far away from here as I can.
