The Wings of Monarchs

A free'r soul 
You'll not see 
Than those bound 
By love 
A true'r smile 
You'll not form 
'Cept when found 
By love 
And yet we craft 
Chains from magnets 
And yet we pass 
E'ery exit 
On the way 
Gone 
And yet we have 
These prisons within 
And yet we trap 
E'ery hope 
In tears long 
Gone 
A deeper hope 
You'll not breathe 
Than lungs filled 
By love 
A sweeter song 
You'll not hear 
Than those sung 
By love 
And yet we flee 
From horizons 
And yet we keep 
E'ery moment 
Of years long 
Gone 
And yet we sleep 
Through swollen mornings 
And yet we dream 
E'ery hour 
Of e'erything long 
Gone. 

And the skies would say 
As you flee from horizons 
That encircle you 
You stand still 
When you run away 
From all that surrounds you 
For we are not bound 
By wall or chain 
We are not trap'd 
By fence or weight 
But strapped to 
Our own foolish desire 
To get away 
Anyways. 

A free'r soul 
You'll not see 
Than one 
Who embraces 
The truth 
That there are greater things 
Than escape 
That sometimes life 
Lies seemingly chained 
Only to find at the end 
That those steel links reached 
Everything you dreamt 
That they held you strong 
When you wandered 
Over cliffs 
That you could grasp them 
And find your way 
Home 
A free'r soul 
You'll not see 
Than one 
Who willingly faces 
What binds them 

A free'r soul 
I've not known 
Than my own 
Upon falling in love 
With you.
