FREE AS A BIRD

Not fences, not walls
not snow and not rain
block flights of birds
who fly unrestrained

from mountains to sea
in any terrain
birds fly where they will
their compass ingrained

the sky is their home
their freedom sustained
they go where they please
sing their joyous refrains

if only this gift
we could have obtained
free as a bird
the world's their domain.
