I was born free

But Time and Care imprisoned me

I was living in a Pandemonium

The world, a harried podium

Thriving within pettiness

I groveled for independence

I wished to break free

For I was born free.

My spirit tempted to take a flight

Broke open the realms of wrong and right

Wished to fly beyond hatred and love

And harness the sky like a free dove

Anxieties none did I know or seek

Compulsions nor did make me meek

I just know I had to flee

For I was born free.
