A Free Bird Again

Woke up to the shining sun
An unknown feeling crept back in
And my body started throbbing with the pain within
Ignoring it all, I tried to move
For the new day, I wanted to dance, wanted to groove.
But alas! I couldn't even move an inch
As I remembered that feeling
Was because of my chained wings.
Those pearly white feathers were now coal black
All my hopes and happiness, right in front of me
Turned into ash.
The came at dusk to feed me something like pears
And those priceless pearls, got wasted as tears.
They said I was too vulnerable to let free
Yet so beautiful, so serene that the wanted me for keeps.
I was told, life would be beautiful here
Otherwise my chance of survival outside would be mere
It's better to die free
than captivated perching on a golden tree.
So with all the force that was left in me,
I broke the chains and flew away from their clutches
I flew on and on till it was dawn.
And sang happily on a tree

'Cause Ah! Finally I was free.
