What freedom
does the bird have
when they say
He has more
freedom
than humans
Maybe they are wrong
Because wings
can only take you so far
We have them not
But in
life
we seem to need
large, white wings
to fly away
and be
free
But would you have the courage
even to do that
-to fly and be free and alone
If we had no sky
and just ground
And to be free we must walk only
The bird would wish ‘for strong human legs
To walk, so that
he may be free
We do not need
wings of a bird
We all need
courage
and faith
and hope
and love
So that we may stretch the
legs
we have
And be
free
So our legs of freedom
of courage
and faith
and hope
and love
So we may
fly higher than they
Fly and be free
Free as the bird
in his sky
We shall find our sky. Yes, we will.
