Analysis of Free As A Bird



free as a bird as if you already heard,
champions as a monkey studded flunkie
strip back the hall piece shapes for you to carry on in song
nicely page done turn as if you haven't heard
Swiss Miss to words that twist come together with a kiss
tossed as a salad with wings that travel
beats to wing your own

sought after wings to fly hence the page has turned so was the butterfly
yesterday we learn to having a page that would turn hearts to burn
free as a bird fly weekly as on the river Nile,
basketball toward the know it all with words that heal
basketball to the know it all

we have come way too far
the sorrow is ours
crusted chains in the cell block 9
love to be loved like never before
sealed with a kiss sorrow has missed

linger long within a song
