Freedom

Oh little bird

How I long to set you free

From the imprisonment seize 

Let you spread your wings 

Go beyond the mountains and trees

To hear you sing, once you leave

 

Oh little bird

How I long to set you free 

Don’t lose hope

One day, we will cut the rope

you’re beauty and grace

Deserve freedom and the sun upon your face 

 

Oh little bird

How I long to set you free

I love how your poem captures the desire of those who care for the oppressed.

I am looking for lyrics for a choral assignment at university and was wondering if you'd be happy for me to use these as lyrics?

Thank you.  For the lyricist, what name should I put down?

I've set up a temporary email address so you can contact me without scammers finding my address.
