Free me

Free me by Adejola Joseph 
Free me 
I want to be free 
A bird in the air 
A fish in the sea
A lion in the forest 
A man on the soil 
A cat in its track 
I want to be free 
So, free me 
Freedom is priceless 
Freedom is a gift 
Freedom is joy
Freedom is heaven 
Freedom is fun 
I want to be free 
So, free me 
Free me like bondage is a chain 
Free me like incarceration is a sin
Free me like a prisoner on parole 
Free me like a game out of trap
Free me like a child out of the womb
Free me like water flowing from the stream 
Free me like a goat out of the rope
Free me like a prophet on the mountain 
Free me like a plane in the air 
Free me like a ship on the sea
So, free me 
I refused to be on the spot 
I refused to stay on the spot 
I am going to the promised land 
Land flowing with milk and honey 
So, free me.
