Free (my love affair with words)

I'm a free bird

flying to and fro

through the wind

against the grain

up and down

wings strewn.

I'm a free bird

'needing to go my own way

always with the flock in sight

soaring above

yet close to home

protective

and I don't wanna be caged

I'm a free bird

you can't capture me

I wanna be close to the sun

near to the clouds

free, free, totally free

I'm a free bird

sometimes I hide

away from the world

within my nest

in the trees

free falling almost

never hitting the ground

I'm free like a bird

'can't even catch up with myself

I'd rather take it all in

the music

the beauty

the air breezing through my wings

I'm free like a bird

So free that the tears

simply disappear

I'm going up

dodging the heartaches

the headaches

lack

and want

my creator provides

I'm a free bird

soon as he thinks he got me

I'm gone, beyond reach

so free

just when she figures

she'll get in sync with me

I'm on my way

hiding in the sky

so fly, so free

free bird, free girl...Free me
