A Sky So Free

I long to be free, away from this place
When i see the sky, i want to embrace
Run my fingers through the clouds
Peace at last i have found

I open my eyes, now that im aware
Im still on the ground, it was just the wind in my hair
And for that i envy the very birds in the sky
As their great wings soar, their hearts heard
It may sound absurd, but how i wish i was a bird, flying free in the sky
All at least untill im willing to die
