Free At Last

Never has a body fallen so far and so fast
FREE AT LAST

I danced through life 
My feet moving so fast I could not see them 

The music 
Lifting my body up and carrying it through its steps

Never has a body so resembled music 
Climbing higher and higher 
Until there is nowhere else to go but down 
Diving, drowning, descending 
Never has a body fallen so far and so fast

And I am free 
And I am free 
And I am free 

At last
