The Free Bird Leaps On the back of wind

http://tinyurl.com/mu76qej

And floats downstream

Till the current ends

http://tinyurl.com/ler2tq5

and dips his wings

In the orange sun rays

And dares to claim the sky

http://tinyurl.com/lw3gfzj

But a bird that stalks

down his narrow cage

http://tinyurl.com/k83k6nc

can seldom see through

his bars of rage

http://tinyurl.com/kua8yqt

his wings are clipped

And his feet are tied

http://tinyurl.com/l23q26x

So he opens his throat to sing

http://tinyurl.com/ls6g6d2

The caged bird sings

with fearful trill

of the things unknown

http://tinyurl.com/m5s9f58

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

http://tinyurl.com/l7zbyv3

for the caged bird

sings of freedom

http://tinyurl.com/lwu76j9

The free bird thinks of another

breeze

an the trade winds soft through the

sighing trees

http://tinyurl.com/l83ohf4

and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn

and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

http://tinyurl.com/ktjp6ts

his wings are clipped

and his feet are tied

http://tinyurl.com/mrjl92o

so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings

with a fearful trill

of the things unknown

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

for the caged bird

sings of freedom
