The Freedom To Fly

by Paolo Santos   Aug 10, 2006


Everyone seems to get the wrong idea about my life
Everyone seems to think that my life is great
If only they were me, they would understand
Its true that everything just fell through to me
But my life is not as easy or as great as people assumes it to be
There is nothing great about having someone shadowing you everywhere u go
There is nothing great in having someone dictate to you how to live your life
Can't you see that I am a prisoner of my own life?
I simply just want to live my own life and my freedom

Everyday in my life, I feel like a caged bird..
Caged, so they can prevent me from flying free
But everyday I still try to escape from my own cage
I want to live my own life however I see it fit
I want to make my own mistakes and learn from them
These are the simple thing that makes life worth living
I'm not asking for much, just my freedom to fly

To fly freely, in the open air, no cage to hold me in
To fly with no restrictions or limitations
To soar the open sky, so worry free and problem free
To fly to the highest sky and look down to the world bellow
This is the only thing I want the most, my freedom to fly

Up there is where I can truly be free
Up there is where I can find peace within me
Up there no one can control me or contain me
Up there I can be me and live my life how I want it to be
Those are the reasons why I want my freedom to fly

Instead, I am here, prisoner of my so-called life
Not having the freedom to do what I wish
Like a caged bird, who just wants to fly but can't
Caged by the people who said they cared about me
If they really cared about me, they will give me room to grow
But they rather keep me in their cage and deny my freedom to fly

Now me desperation to escape this cage, is fueling my hate
My hate toward the people who denies me of what I really want the most
Death seems to be the only way for me to escape this life
A life of pain of being caged; being denied of my own freedom
A lonely misunderstood life spent in darkness
A life that lost all its reasons to live and given up on everything else
A life that was denied the freedom to fly and be free....
