I wish I was up there
Flying free like a bird
without a care in the world
free at last.

But I'm bound on the ground
hopeful and wishing
I was free to dream.

But ropes don't yield
like wings do.

I love this and feel the same way. I also wish we could run faster or dig underground like other animals. It's a whole new freedom when you have different abilities.
