They say that no one is free, boy,
That the birds, heck, even them critters
Are chained to the sky,
But son, I can see the shackles,
Sure as a promise, rusting,
By the tears we cry each night.
One day, boy, I know it,
We're gonna break these bonds
And we're gonna fly
And when we fly, son,
You can bet your life on it
We ain't coming back down.
