I Was Once a Bird

Once a bird
Flying high
Wings now clipped
I'm forced to sigh

My journey now
Put on hold
My soul now kept
From the world untold

Once a bird
Flying high
My beak now shut
From speaking my mind

My words now
Kept from being told
My mind now kept
From the world untold

Once a bird
Flying high
My heart now broke
From a fearful cry

But this bird
Shall be repaired
For I shall fly
Around the world my fair share
