Wait, wait I say
Don’t walk away
And leave me to linger all the long day
Unlatch this hook and let me take off
For I am my own creature
And don’t belong in this small cage
I’ve done no crime so don’t lock me away
To fly high above or run is my gift
It hurts to not stretch or feel the warm breeze
To sleep is my only relief
I dream of open sky and the dirt under my feet
Let me out
Please let me out of here
So I can do what I dare and breath the fresh air
