Freedom
Freedom
Here I stand
A caged bird who wing is clipped
From the day I was born I was told by everyone that I am the prophesied Hero who destiny was to save the World
From that day, I had to follow a set path
I allowed myself to suffer because I thought that it was my fate
Oh how the people cheered for me Hooray for mighty Hero who saved us once again
Nobody cared that I was slowly crumbling apart not even my family
All everyone cared about was the Hero and not the person behind it
I pondered to myself all day long, “How can I save everyone when I can’t even save myself”? As I rotted in the prison that was my home
I thought that was my only path until that day
A strange man dressed in a robe came up to me and offer me a choice
Save the World while I had to suffer
Or
Be finally free from the cage but at the cost of the world
I chose without a moment thought to be free and he set me free
As I ran from the prison the stranger whispered I'm sorry that we made you suffer
The people of this world could suffer like I did
Because finally I was free
Free from my cage
