How much longer...(nonMBA)

How much longer...
When can I...
How much longer am I to wait
When can I spread my wings

I bear the burden of my family
the worries of my life
I feel the emptiness of my heart
the emptiness of my father's passing
the weight of his promise

I don't know how much longer

How much longer am I to bear
When can I spread my wings
to feel the wind through my hair
to breath in the air above my worries
the worries of my life
to breath in the air above my burdens
the burdens of my life

I don't know how to say it
express the emptiness of my heart
the sadness within my soul
the guilt of my dreams

If I close my eyes
can I turn my heart
can I close my soul
to stop my dreams

How much longer am I to wait
When can I spread my wings

How much longer
To spread my wings
