Wings To Fly

They promise me freedom but I all I got was chains.
So I tried to break from these chains
But I got slain.
They say freedom is like a bird
So I tried to fly like a bird
But what is the point if I have no wings to fly?

The answer to this question is: action
The action of trying.
No matter how many times you get beaten down
No matter how many times you get oppressed
No one can suppress the freedom of words
And it is these words in the spirit of freedom
That will give me wings to fly.
