Run to Return

If you’d let me go

And release your grasp

I’d free myself

And run so fast

There’s no time to stroll

For my chance will soon be gone

No time to fall

Or get up to move on

Just time to run

Better yet- to fly

For joy only exists

Up in the sky

I want to reach up

Take hold of G-d’s hand

But I’m not meant to run

I now understand

Right where I am

Is where G-d wants me to be

My mission is clear

Cut out for me

Although I still yearn

To fly up to the sky

I’ll accomplish my tasks

And continue to try
