The Lost Bird

Like a bird trying to find a home in the woods 
but they are getting destroyed 
by the machines 

Like a river wanting to flow into the ocean
only to be blocked 
by the walls

Like the feeling of wanting to do what is right
and getting stopped
by the mind

I just want to be free, I just want to be free, I just want to be free

Fly away and see the whats around

Lost I may be, but I don't want to be found

Silent like the flap of a wing I wont make a sound

Let me be free, Let me be free, Let me be free 

I can find want I need to survive on my own
but could use any help
from time to time

My eyes can see from very far away
but could use a guide
every here to there

I am a lost bird on my own big journey
and this is one thing 
I will never forget, That

I am free, I am free, I am free
