Gavin

The swift

It won\'t last for long

So savour it now

A bird sings his song

With freedom to tell

 

Though I may be chained 

To your narrow eyes

The liberty I\'ve gained

Is my greatest prize

 

As a bird has his cage

I have my plight

I\'m free from all rage 

The sun is in sight

 

One day I\'ll soar 

In a sky so blue

And open a door 

For all to pass through

 

So laugh at me now

At my clipped wing

But just watch how

This bird will sing
