Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far away from here.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
This is a desperate wish to be transformed entirely, to shed a difficult present situation by becoming something free enough to simply leave it behind. Turning into a bird here stands for the kind of total escape that ordinary means can't offer, a longing for flight rather than just relief.
