Free

I envy the bird
that sits in the tree
I envy the bird 
because it is free
I envy the bird
that's high in the sky
I envy the bird
because it can fly
I envy the bird
that can that can do as it please
I envy the bird
because it can leave
I envy the bird
that is not me
I envy the bird
because it is free
