FREE AS AN UNCAGED BIRD
Each of us is a bird
Caged and trained
To tolerate the cage
And to make that cage
Our home
Yet our greatest longing is to fly
To soar into the heavens
And swoop down to earth
Unfurl your wound up wings
Do what you must to open the cage door
Jump, fall, stumble, fly
Better to fail trying
Than never to try at all
You have the wings of desire
For good reason
You are born to be a free flyer
Uncage yourself and leap.
