A stallion behind a fence
A monkey in a zoo
A bird in a cage
Tame.

A stallion running openly
A monkey in its tree
A bird flying high
Free.

Wild spirits
Hide within everyone, everything
But only few
Choose to let it fly

Some are forced
To live
Behind a fence
To watch
Behind bars
To stay
Inside a cage

Don’t be spiritless
Be spirited
Don’t be tame
Be free
