I know what you see when you see me,
A creature to keep in captivity
So, you wish to abduct me,
And hold me hostage indefinitely
You can't trap me, I'm wild and free.
Your heart is filled with hate and rage,
You plan confinement in a cage
My freedom is your outrage,
Your desire you'll not engage
You can't trap me, I'm wise with age.

You're a man; I'm a bird you see
Together we're not meant to be,
I'm free to fly for eternity
You can't trap me, I'm wild and free.

All her life she felt trapped
Wanting liberation
Always just out of reach
A desired salvation
Released from the shackles
Suddenly
Oh to ride a wild mare
across an open plain
to feel the wind rush through my hair
to run without restrain
Oh to be the wind carnate
