Unbound

I knew a plant

Whose roots were bound

And returned

Into the ground

Every day

I watched it grow

Every day

It struggled so

Roots were bound roots were bound

Roots were bound into the ground

Watched it grow watched it grow

Watched it as it struggled so

I dug it up

I cut the twine

And so like this

I made it mine

I watched it drink

And watched it feed

And grow beyond

It's simple need

Cut the twine cut the twine

Cut the twine and made it mine

Watched it feed watched it feed

Watched it feed the simple need

Unbound roots unbound

Unbound into the ground

Unbound roots unbound

Unbound into the ground

I was once

Bound at the root

Confined with twine

Both mind and foot

I cut it loose

And now am free

As anything

Alive can be

At the root bound at the root

Confined both mind and foot

Am free now am free

As anything alive can be

Unbound roots unbound

Unbound into the ground

Unbound roots unbound

Unbound into the ground
