FREEDOM'S FLIGHT
©2012 Gary Bowman

Break the chains, Scale the walls                   
Listen as the eagle calls

O’er the mountains, O’er the sea                   
This is the place, where we can be free          

The silence of a night, so long                       
Shattered by the nighthawk’s song

Toil on earth, Till day is done                        
Then spread our wings, And fly to the sun

Fly with the flicker, through all the trees       
Breathe in the air, That rides on the breeze

Race the clouds, Into the sky
Freedom calls, Away we’ll fly

Soar with the eagle, glorious glide                 
Untethered, on thermal ride

Fly with the owl, Into the night                     
Now is our time, Freedom’s Flight
