They say those walls are to protect me, oh my!
But all I feel inside them is suffocated.
They say these walls will take me somewhere high,
But I don't see how far one can get inside these walls that aren't even gated!

"Oh dear, till what heights could you have neared every passing night
Above how many clouds could you have soared?
If only all saw through the eyes with which you have gained sight
Of the diminishing point this world has so closely explored" (to myself)

There is surely a revolutionary in me
If there ever is a chance, she might jump out!
So my honey whose name I have not yet said, but will be,
Stay and guide her as you promised, or please leave while she's still in doubt

I will not have a single person beside me,
But I'll take you with me to the ends of the earth if you'll let me!
I understand if you don't want to follow me,
The road I have taken is ruthless and you might want to just let me be!

But if you do come along honey, we'll search the deepest of oceans
Together, we can search for what might make our life worth!
But don't you dare do it for me, do it for him who made the ancients
So that you'll never regret the choice that you made to travel the north!

I know all this is hard to digest within some minutes,
But I am here to clear every doubt you might have
Take your time but my dear, do choose wisely in bits
This is a subject you ought to ponder upon with all you have

Oh I have almost ran out of one more word,
But before that I'll tell you the name of my honey
He is named Noel, born one December third,
'Noel', yea it means Christmas, he sure did bring hope to me, funny!

You asked me what I'll do if you fell for somebody else; I meant what I said,
I'll come bless you both at your wedding, then I'll runaway to lands I should tread!
