Your world is as big as you make it I know, for I used to abide In the narrowest nest in a corner My wings pressing close to my side.
But I sighted the distant horizon Where the sky-line encircled the sea And I throbbed with a burning desire To travel this immensity.
I battered the cordons1 around me
And cradled my wings on the breeze
Then soared to the uttermost reaches With rapture, with power, with ease!
