Born Free

Born free
caught in love that your giving me
Born free
Locked away from nearly everyone

Trapped and broken
The waters just too low
My feelings you do not know
To world I'm just a show

I need to swim and hunt
Not perform these silly stunts
Born free trapped between concrete land
Instead of playing in the ocean, flicking the sand

Am I worth nothing at all to you?
I need freedom too
Instead of going through your human motion
I should be in the wild of the ocean

Born free
I need more than your giving me
Born free
Will I ever just be free?
