My thoughts are as free, as wind o’er the ocean,

And no one can see their form or their motion.

No scholar can map them, no hunger can trap them,

My lips may be still, but I think what I will.  (repeat line)

I think as I please, and this gives me pleasure.

My conscience decrees this right I must treasure.

My thoughts will not cater, to duke or dictator,

No captive I’ll be, for my spirit is free.  (repeat line)

And if tyrants take me, and throw me in prison,

My thoughts will burst free, like blossoms in season.

Foundations will crumble, the structure will tumble,

No captive I’ll be, for my spirit is free.  (repeat line)
