Free Bird

Here is a piece I composed (on 12th Dec. 2012). I'm really proud of it.

 

 

Birds in this cage

Birds in this cage

With heads bent low

And wings that never tasted breeze

Starved of flight, starved of life

Too deeply chained in fears to know

They lived in a cage without a door



One bird cries

Raise your heads, oh brothers

We are all gathered here today

There is freedom on the other side

With eternal, free and limitless skies

We can flap our wings

To freedom, to glory and to victory

Masters of our own fate

Just step out through this gate

Don't hesitate

A journey towards the divine heavens

A flight to the mighty arms of freedom

A flight towards home



Fool, cried the rest in unison

You have no home save for this cage

Your untrained wings mean a steady drop

To your end, to the end

The sky so far, we cannot reach

And where will you find crumbs to eat?

What more is there left to preach?

Now keep silent, you deluded bird

Your silly dreams are too absurd



I feel sorry for you, my enslaved brothers

Your lives are confined to this cage

While eternal skies wait for me

You're afraid to fall while I believe

I see things you cannot see

As I step out and take flight

A flight to the mighty arms of freedom

A flight towards home



I am the free bird

I will wait for you
On the other side...
