Dedicated to opinion prisonners: I am Free

I am Free

I am free

Even locked in the jail

I am free

And I feel no pain

You can tie my hands

But I’m still free

You can torture me

I will keep free

You think your tyranny

And my countless injuries

Can stop me

No I’m free

************************

What if bleeds will never heal?

You think I won’t be free?

************************

You can burn my papers

Words are free

You can burn my paints

Colours are free

You think I’ll mourn the body

While my soul is free

I am free

Even locked in the jail

I am free

And I feel no pain

***************************

You can’t catch every flying bird

‘Cause it’s free

You can’t hunt every running horse

‘Cause it’s free

****************************

You’re glad that you have me

Outside: a million of me

And we’re all free.
