According to Buddha
Your mind is like a bird that has been locked in a cage for many years. It fears liberty. Yet, freedom is its birthright.
i opened my mouth to scream and shout
waved my arms and flapped about
but i couldn’t scream i couldn’t shout,
the song was coming from my mouth.
from my mouth,
from my mouth,
from my mouth.
but in my dreams began to creep
that old familiar tweet tweet tweet

According to Buddha
Roam in the world as a lion of self-control; see that the frogs of weakness don’t kick you around.
you heard my voice, i came out of the woods by choice
shelter also gave their shade
but in the dark i have no name
so leave that click in my head
and i will remember the words that you said
left a clouded mind and a heavy heart
but i am sure we could see a new start
so when your hopes on fire
but you know your desire
don’t hold a glass over the flame
don’t let your heart grow cold
i will call you by name
i will share your road
