Free
Only For The Bird in The Tree
It’s a trap to avoid
Clamoring for your lust
Something to pocket
No wallet to bust
Asking nothing for it
Means there is no worth to it
For those who give it
To those worship it
Free as in freebie
Friz as in Frisbee
There’s about as much meaning
As the wind that carries it
Slowing down is wrong
Stopping to look is a gong
Expecting something for nothing
Is nothing for something
Not worth nothing
Nor even something
Free
Maybe
For the bird in a tree
But something you’re given
May not really be free
Think about it
The next time
A hand reaches out
To give you something
"Look, See."
About the only thing
That is really
Free
Is the bird in the tree
Clamoring for your lust
Something to pocket
No wallet to bust
Asking nothing for it
Means there is no worth to it
For those who give it
To those worship it
Free as in freebie
Friz as in Frisbee
There’s about as much meaning
As the wind that carries it
Slowing down is wrong
Stopping to look is a gong
Expecting something for nothing
Is nothing for something
Not worth nothing
Nor even something
Free
Maybe
For the bird in a tree
But something you’re given
May not really be free
Think about it
The next time
A hand reaches out
To give you something
"Look, See."
About the only thing
That is really
Free
Is the bird in the tree
