Free Bird

Free Bird Toward to a Free Burma

My home....
where I was born and raised
used to be warm and lovely;
now filled with darkness and horror.

My family....
whom I had grown with
used to be cheerful and lively;
now living with fear and terror.

My friends....
whom I shared my life with
used to be pure and merry;
now living with wounded heart.

A free bird...
which is just freed
used to be caged
now flying with an olive branch
for the place it loves.
