I am bird who believes in freedom, but I’m haunted every day. My life is an adventure with horrible tales as landmarks for my scars tells my story & my happiness dampens my grief.
I am a bird Who believes in freedom To float anywhere I so much desire. I’ve neither home nor bed, But I live my life at random Until I meet that fire When I stop living & breathing.
I am bird Who believes in freedom, But I’m haunted every day. My life is an adventure With horrible tales as landmarks For my scars tells my story & my happiness dampens my grief.
I am a bird Who believes in freedom – I have lost so many friends, But my courage keeps me going. I know many have passed this route Speaking of protest & fighting. All I know & fight for is to be free & freedom is the only song I desire to sing.
