Sherwin Fernandes Poet Ballad

I Want To Be Free

I want to be free, I want to be me
I want to sail across the deep blue sea
I want to search for inscrutabilities once told to me
Where cities of elation lay below the sea

I want to be free, I want to be me
I want to fly athwart the skies
Where rainbows will wipe my cries
I want to trip new places
I want to meet new races
Living each day, seeing new faces

I want to be free, I want to be me
I want live life like a fresh new seed
Blooming with happiness that’s all I need
Cladding to life like an unshakeable tree
I want to be free, I want to be me
