Free
Through the Clouds the Sun starts to Gleam,"is this reality or just a dream".
Alone no more and content at last "my life before i must leave in the past",
The wonders around me so fresh and so new, "when I was caged I had not this view"
"My roar is of strength and to others I send", for this is the Land that I will defend,
Then in happens my world starts to fade, "behind the bars that Man has made",
My pain and my sadness can they not see? for I have a dream, a Dream to be Free
