Luke's Prayer (Setting Suns)

Luke's Prayer (Setting Suns) By Wendy Schwartz

I'm never gonna get out of here
It just isn't fair.
Why can't I be free, instead of holding me down?
Looks like I'm going nowhere.

My friends are gone, but here I am
Searching for some meaning.
To have a purpose, independence, a "Life."
That's what I'm always dreaming.

But a whole 'nother year! Wish I could speed up time,
Alter the harvest, or be teleported out.
All I can see is a big nothing around me,
And a future filled with doubt.

I want to-I need to--break away,
And loose myself from these chains-
Of everything that's bored, and routine, and repressed.
No more to be playing the kids' games.

Far from this place, I can be a man.
If things could change - I'd have so much to give.
For now I know it's just hold on, and wait,
Though my heart is still starving to finally live.
