Free

When you bound my arms you freed me for flight

When you blindfolded me you freed my sight

When you knocked me down you freed me with a shove

When you hated me you freed me to love

When you stole my book you freed me to learn

When you slapped my cheek you freed me to turn

When you clipped my wings you freed me from the glove

When you hated me you freed me to love

When you cuffed me you cut my burdens off

When you jailed me you sent my dreams aloft

You tried to break me like every sinner does

When you hated me you freed me to love
