A cage is no place for a bird to be
Words should be heard like a songbird’s melody
To feel the earth and breathe the sky
Oh a chance not taken is time just waiting to die

Oh my beautiful wandering queen
All of the things of secrets and of dreams

Oh heart of mine hear me now
I’m devoted to you, my surrender I vow
Blood is the ink of the map of the free
And to be free is my only reason to be

So go I must and travel on I will
For it is mine that is a soul that’s ready to fill
With places and faces, mountains and rain
I’m setting a flame to all the guilt and shame

Oh heart of mine hear me now
I’m devoted to you, my surrender I vow
Blood is the ink of the map of the free
And to be free is my only reason to be

The desert’s burned my hands and feet
Still I don’t know what is defeat
My scars are poems etched in space
Fly above all you've been taught
Fearless living has it all
You’ve lived your life and yes for life you know you’ve fought

To feel the earth and breathe the sky
Oh a chance not taken is time just waiting to die

Oh heart of mine hear me now
I’m devoted to you, my surrender I vow
Blood is the ink of the map of the free
And to be free is my only reason to be
And to be free is my only reason to be
