Tower of Glass(9/17/98)

Between two mountains is a valley, vast and wide
And in it, a tower, where, by day, I hide
Locked away by some great unknown power
Left to wither like a discarded flower
Tall Tower of Glass, clear to the sight
and I, like a prism, diffracting the light
I've given up finding someone to blame
for I am so different, yet we all are the same
Varied flowers that bloom in the plain
The faces of people I call by name
Surrounded by minds every day
Yet more alone than I could ever say
Sometimes at night the stars come out
The Tower unlocks and I am let out
Happily as the wind wandering through the skies
Free for a moment of my impending demise
Just for a moment the walls come down
My face paints a smile instead of a frown
My hand finds yours and our hearts are one
but the moment is ruined by the coming of the sun
The power of the tower draws me back in
My own special gift is what locks me within
Would I end my life to end this curse?
At this point I don't know which would be worse...
Tower of Glass, too easy to crack
Across the plains my lonely voice echoes back
Tower of Glass, too hard to break
Has my life merely been mistake after mistake?
I paint the rainbow that graces the sky
My colors of faith that won't let me die
A symbol of hope that someone hears my plea
For the power of love might set me free.
