A Song of Freedom

A bird forgotten in a rusty cage Waking up to see the last of day A broken wing that whispers of a war To be let out is all he’s hoping for All alone without a will to breathe Too afraid to finally fall to sleep Nothing left so he begins to sing The dancing rhythm granting life within Another heart that sings of other lives So universal it transcends all time Another tune to free an empty soul The lonely bird now understands and grows So he wakes with patience and a song The bird remembers what it is to long The deeper that his music comes to be The more the bird desires to be free The bird decides to share his greatest work A song of freedom stronger than despair His music travels over open plains He keeps on singing even in his pain His final note now reaches every ear His final breath has emptied every fear The bird has finally left his rusty cage The bird, once broken, has truly found the day
