Analysis of Free as can be
Flying like a butterfly
Free as can be
Flapping my wings
So the world I can see
Over the flowers
Up into the trees
Passing by the clouds
Crossing the sea
Always on the move
Blending in with debris
Sometimes I must go
When the wind takes me
But if you clip my wings
I will never be me!
