#12 Bird, Not a Kite

Oh Dad, I wish to be a bird, not a kite

I don’t want someone else to control my flight

I want to be a part of an harmonious flock

And nobody's way do I want to block

I want to explore the world without any fright

Dad, that’s my only dream, that’s my only fight

Oh Dad, I know you fear the hunters

But being a kite is also not free of dangers

Then why shouldn't I take the risk of being what I want to

Who knows someday, proud I may make you...
