Caged, held hostage by unvarying routine,
Locked with treasure chest of my dreams,
In this break, song of freedom it sings.

Carrying my dreams on its wings,
Flies, flies, n it flies, the sky beckons.

Didn't hear, when heart was with me,
Now that it's flying, it's song so clear,
Closed eyes, I follow, Pied Piper for me!”
