I'm a free bird
Flying through the cotton clouds
Floating in the vast oceans of sky
All blue and bright and warm

But my heart weighed heavy
For something on earth
The sun kissed wings of mine
Found it hard to hold

The burden of failures
And the ropes of rules
Holding me down to earth
Preventing my sun kissed wings in flight

I glanced at those ropes
That tied me down, invisible to eyes
Giving a death glare to them
Burning them down to ashes

I fly again as a free bird
Through the cotton white clouds
Floating over the never ending blue sky
Stretched over as the vast ocean

I hear a voice
So angelic it seems to me
So soft and tender
So soothing and sweet

I've imagined her to be beautiful
Even though she's not pretty
Her heartbeat I can hear
A lullaby to my ears

How I wished to see her
How I wished to kiss her
How I wished to fight with her
How I wished to kiss her a sorry

I counted the days
Going by all along
Impatient to meet her
My mother oh my mother

My mother would have knitted me a sweater
Oh! She must've made something tasty
My mother knows I love pink
And she's happy I can feel

My mother must be buying me hats
And the tiny little socks for my feet
And all the tender clothes with fragrance
That is always sweeter than any flower

She must be telling my father
That I'm going to come sooner or later
That they need one pink tiny room
For my young little cradle where I shall sleep

But life's not easy I say
I'm a girl she knows now
Oh! She don't want me now
She hates me now

I'm sorry I'm a girl
But still I want to see you
And kiss on your cheek
And wrapped up in your arms

But you don't love me now
You don't want me now
How to weep now
My tears might be a curse to you

I would not cry
I would not hate
For all these can be a curse for you
Which I can't gift you, my mother

I still count my days
Painfully praying for your wellbeing
And the days crept in
And I breathe my last breath beside the cradle

The life churned out it seems
Oh the nights were dark and long
Scary and tearful it is
Oh you've left me alone

Life can't be easy I know
But can't you fight with your hurdles all along
Love is hard and harder for us
But it never is impossible

I loved you and still I'll
Call me stupid I don't care
Cause you're my breath and life
Without you, I'm death

Close your eyes and remember those days
Let your tears fall and burn your cheeks
You'll live through me and always will
If you were near me, I would prove you

Your eyes are shining always in my heart
And how would you expect me to live without you?
Love me like you do
And I'll pass my sorrows with hope

Trust in me, I won't let you down
I promise I won't leave
Give me a chance and I'll prove you
Your heart cherished by me

Alas! I'm done with these terrors
That I've been seeing for centuries
Blood blood everywhere
Blood of my own sweet children

Oh my babies!
You fight for  power, money and fame
For what and why
Tell me and make me know

Men running around for women
For their body not their love
Oh no! What am I seeing?
Why's this happening to my children, why do you fight?

Oh Lord! Creator of the universe
What have I done to you?
My dear children
Oh no! I can't see this anymore

War, terrorism and injustice
I can't see this anymore
How can a mother suffer this?
How can her heart bear this?

Aren't you hearing my cries?
Aren't you seeing my tears?
How can you ignore this cruelty?
Oh Lord! Show them the right path

Oh Lord! My heart's a stone now
My tears dried and my face barren
I'm helpless now
And torn apart

How can a mother suffer this?
How can her heart bear this?
Oh no! My dear children
You're nothing but pool of blood
