Free as a Bird

Honesty is my code
I am a man of my word
However, at times it’s a heavy load
It might be nice to be free as a bird


I give and expect respect
These days is that absurd
Shouldn’t we always be correct
It might be nice to be free as a bird


I give 100 percent
But always seeking to do more
However, sometimes I am discontent
It might be nice to be free as a bird


I believe in equality and justice
How else should we live
But I wary of people who say trust me
It might be nice to be free as a bird


I will speak out
If the cause is right
And have been known to shout
It might be nice to be free as a bird.
