"a bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly"

i have a list of lyrics for many songs in my almost all the time. i recently fell in love with mumford sons. which makes me realize how popular folk music has become when at one time people looked cross eyed at me when i mentioned. (thats a whole other rant in itself hehe)

anyhow, there are a few lines from this song that just make my insides glow.

"lend me your eyes, i can change what you see, but your soul you must keep totally free....in these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die, but where you invest your love is how you invest your life..."
