Freebird

[Verse 1]
If I were a bird
Of course I'd fly high
Riding wind currents
Just to pass the time

If I were a bird
I'd also find peace
Perched on a limb or a wire
Above a hard street

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
I am a bird
I'm gonna be free
Not some caged parrot
Or some bird raised to eat

When I be a bird
I has a bird brain
Free from injustice
And mercy and shame

[Verse 3]
All become birds
When I'm cleaned to the bones
Left in the sun
On a spring day
The bones will rot
After years in the sun
And I'll be the flowers
On a spring day
