Desire took a seat at my side And softly said to me "I know you want to go your own way, But you're too weak to be free." I said to it, "I know you mean well But this time you are wrong. I've thought this through, I promise you, I've got to move on And I don't want you along." Here I stand with a bird in hand and here I will remain I would rather let it stay than to watch a hundred fly away You'll be fine in a little time when I am out of view I'm not trying to say goodbye, I know I'll see you soon
