I Wish To Be Free
I wish to be free
Like the birds and bees
Who fly and land wherever
They please.
I wish to be free
Like the tree
Who will always stand tall and sturdy
And upright beside me.
I wish to be free
Like the sky
Who's open and wide
And will never die.
I wish to be free
Like the stars
Who are never close
And always far.
I wish to be free
Like the sun
Who shines brightly
For everyone.
I wish to be free
Like the fish
Who swims and dives
Wherever he may wish.
I wish to be free
Like the people I see
Who gather and laugh
All around me.
But most of all...
I wisb to be free
Like the ocean
Who's calm and fierce
And always in motion.
Though these wishes
Are my own
I know that I am
Not alone
For these people wish
For these things
All the time
I hope someday
That these wishes
Will become mine.
