cyprus

i used to stay far away from the city.
"the hustle and bustle will sweep you away."
told that if i did go there i would have no pity,
and the ones i had been in seemed less than okay.
in the city was violence, in the city was fear;
you'll waste all your free time on pointless things.
if you go in the city, old you disappears-
so never go near, and don't you dare spread your wings
and the day that i walked in the city of cyprus
i thought that i'd be in and out
but inside i discovered such kindness
that i knew at last i could shout
out past the winds and out to the sea:
i've finally found a place where i'm free!
