Question

The free bird thinks of another breeze
And the trade winds soft through
The sighing trees
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright
Lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams
His shadow shout on a nightmare scream
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he open his throat to sing.
