lyrics
The body is like a cage
that the soul like a bird lives in.
When the cage is old or broken
the bird can fly off in the wind
Free flying, free
Would the bird flyings free at last
return to the cage that is cold?
No, she’d forget those bonds with her freedom to soar
and ascend to glories unknown.
Don’t you know
The bird in the cage must be fed.
The food of the soul is love.
Prayer and service
will strengthen its wings,
draw it closer to the essence above.
Free flying, free
Would the bird flying free at last
return to the cage that is cold?
No, she’d forget those bonds
with her freedom to soar
and ascend to glories unknown.
Free to fly off in the wind.
Free to fly off in the wind. (2X)
We may be entrapped
after being pursued,
beaten, imprisoned in a cell.
But the real enemy
is much nearer than we think,
for the greatest prison is self.
The time must come
when we return to the Friend.
There’s the harvest
and we reap what we’ve sown.
Could be thistles, bitter tasting
or the sweetest of fruits
But there’s mercy. We’re embraced. We’ve come home.
Would the bird flying free at last
return to the cage that is cold?
No, she’d forget those bonds
with her freedom to soar
and ascend to glories unknown.
Free to fly off in the wind.
Free to fly off in the wind. (2X)
