    Born free
    *
    When I was young
    Watched a movie
    With the same name
    Born Free, wow I cried
    -
    A baby lioness trapped
    In unfamiliar environment
    From young age raised as a pat
    Unfamiliar became her only world
    -
    Wild heart imprisoned unfairly
    Freedom snatched by the same
    People who claim to love wild life
    The same people who claim to be liberals
    -
    Born free, a lioness was never a pat
    Take a hawk and cage it, it will grow up
    It would be twice the size of your homing pigeons and start asking questions
    -
    Free the heart it will free the animal inside
    Your love for animals is that of a jailer
    Born free, free their spirits you'll free yours
    Mr Jailer your heart in a right place but twisted
    -
    Free the Kea Parrot it will never really talk, your circus has to end sometime Sir
    Wildlife is beautiful without you changing the Dynamics, the ecology, Mr Jailer
