I wish I was free
Free from Death
Free from Depression
But most imprtantly
Free from the world
I'm not meant to be kept in a cage
Or in a cell
And to be locked up
Or chained down
I was born to be free
To fly high in the sky
Not walk on earth
And be ruled unfairly by tyrants
But to fly
To feel the air through my hair
Adrenaline Pulsing through my veins
And sweet fresh air fill my lungs and nostrils
I want to be free from worries
Free from pain
Free from tears
And not care about anything
Except for freedom
I wish I was free
Oh, how I wish I was free
