To Be Free

Lucky bird inside a gilded cage

Golden words spoke by an ancient sage

Everything you may have in life

Still all you hold is dust

Must I yearn forever to be free

Free to climb a tree and ponder

Free to wander

There's no desire I hold fonder

Than to be

Simply me

To be free

How ungrateful is this lucky bird

Spurning privilege for one simple word

Freedom to stretch these golden wings

Freedom to touch the sky

Why, some would ask

Would she want to be

Free to throw away a treasure

Poor with pleasure

I'd sacrifice riches beyond measure

Just a girl

With a boy

What a perfect fantasy

To find love

To feel joy

To be really free


Why, yes, this song is from Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular at California Adventure. I really like the meaning behind the words. Enjoy and have a magical evening :)
