Not My Slave

With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
 I thought about the ghosts that we left behind
 With everyone around telling us what to do
 With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"
 With fire in your eyes, may it never go out
 The sweetness of your tears makes it feel like night
 I see no escape from the roles we always play
 What do we have to prove on this judgment day?
 You're mine now, but you're not my sister
 You're mine now, but you're not my slave
 You're mine now, but you're not my child
 You're mine now, but you're not my slave
 You're missing the whole point; you're not my little pet
 Don't throw away your life; the game's not over yet
 I do not own your soul; don't want you in a cage
 I only want your heart to find a special place
 You're mine now, but you're not my sister
 You're mine now, but you're not my slave
 You're mine now, but you're not my child
 You're mine now, but you're not my slave
 With sand in my heart and clouds in my head
 I thought about us both and the life we led
 From pages in a book and pictures on a screen
 We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream
 One second, you are cast just like stones at my feet
 But I am not a king; please, don't worship me
 With everyone around telling us what to do
 With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"
 You're mine now, but you're not my sister
 You're mine now, but you're not my slave
 You're mine now, but you're not my child
 You're mine now, but you're not my slave
