"A slave is never truly free until he learns to love his slaveowner."


Who would have thought
That a poor boy would win
He has no name
Just the dream he's in

His heart's been broken
He's a bird without wings
Like a bird he finds true life
In the song that he sings

He has no place to go
When the rainstorm comes
But a strong tree branch
Which he perches from

His clothes are ripped and torn
He has no shoes to wear on his feet
Bloody blisters on his soul
His life's bittersweet

But he has a voice
The voice of a believer
His life is love
His name is dreamer
