Analysis of Calling my name
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
Calling me out
Out in the open
I can hear her voice through subtle whispers
She speaks into my ear
I want to know who she is
I want to see her breath of fire enter my lungs
I love this girl, she is an amazing being
Full of light, love and laughter
Please, God, take me to her
Take me home to her breast
Allow me to lay in her womb
I want freedom and to be set free in her arms
This sweet chariot of time won't allow me past the river of life
I only wish to be simple
I simply wish to be free
Take me there
