Analysis of Freedom



Sing out the words you meant to say;
Rejoice!For now your time has come.
For those who once were young and sprite
are leaving the nest-all set for flight.

Sing out the words you meant to say;
Enjoy the hours that now are yours.
Look!See how high they soar in flight
Oh so ready to be let out of sight.

Sing out the words you meant to say;
Oh please come back-don't go away..
Sing out the words you have to say
Oh my darling's, I pray for you to stay.
