Chains of an underling
Have you bound round her neck
Telling her she cannot rise far
Beyond her nose,

A crown of thorns
Have you worn on her head
If she dared reach beyond the
Height there of

Like a dog
Have you tamed her ‘unbecoming ways’
Listening obediently to thy command my lord
Oh no sir

I dare say
A beggar shall she be no more
She will birth you and feed you alright
So shall she reach beyond you
Teach you and protect you
Then clothe and educate you

Set her free I say,
Let her wisdom feed you glutton
Let the power of her words nurse thee nation
Let her wings fly free coward
Set her free, I say!
