zealous for liberty

I am the chance you missed.
I´m the sunrise, that you didn´t see.
I´m the finish line and you don´t reach.
I´m the girl you kissed.

For you, I remain a risk.
The handcuffs on your wrist
and the noose around your neck.
Your picture of me makes me a wreck.

But I want to be your ship,
which will take you to horizon.
I will help you to leave the barren land.
Far from the misery and cruelty.

But your enlightenment is in the stars
and remains a mystery to me.
Your liberty is´nt my intention,
because I want to mean freedom.

My explanations crash into your steadfastness.
You´re convinced that I´m wrong.
I know exactly how that feels, this uncertainty,
but I promised you:“If you steer me, I won´t let you go under!“

I wish you were my rudder and not the thunder!

Because of you I can´t sail,
but the wind will take me on.
You brakes from me and that´s why you will fail
You don´t know, where I come from.
It is´nt my first love jail.
