I’ve found a tangle-thrill light
Cast from feather-formed heights
Shadows of flames form love in my eyes
The whirling sets me twirling
Into a chorus unfurling
As I fly up into fire-filled skies
The secret is freedom
Fear I left in the chaos below
My heart strings tune to sounds
My mind doesn’t really have to know
Because the yoke is easy
And the weight of light bends through time
The promise of Joseph was one from the Ox
Whose burden would have been mine
