Story Behind the Song
This piece was penned early in 1999, a few days after I completed my first novel, OUT OF THE BOX. It depicts the beauty of freedom and the natural high felt with accomplishment.
Lyrics
A song of freedom, from her soul, she sings
As she casually flutters about, cautiously spreading her wings
Gliding on gentle little breezes, she surveys all that is around
Ever careful and watchful to shun the cold, hard ground
To find her destiny, she finally takes flight
For she is determined to reach unexplored heights
With wings she has waited to use for far too long
She goes skyward...ever more beautiful is her song
Everything she sees is through eyes brand new
As she flies higher, the more glorious is her view
Far beneath her are the valleys from whence she fled
Lofty vistas she now sees...her wings are outspread
She observes grand rivers rushing to unite with the sea
As she marvels at the sensation of finally being free
Above everything she goes...up, up, upward...ever so high
She is astonished she finally knows how it feels to truly fly
With grace and resolve, she lifts her wings and begins to soar
Singing a sweeter song than has ever been heard before.
