Lament for a beloved friend

Goodbye o beloved
Many a morning you woke me up
Many a morning I cursed you
O how I apologize dear friend

Your voice rang in my ears
And I cursed you
But oh I apologize dear friend

Many a day I walked by
Never looking never greeting
O how I apologize dear friend

Free at last you soar
Free from the cage we kept you in
O how I apologize dear friend

Free you were born
Wrenched out of your tree you were
In a cage thrust
But free you died
O how I apologize dear friend

My last offering you shunned
Pained you were
Still you recognized me
But I walked by forgetting our last Farwell
O how I apologize dear friend

How free you soar
How free you dream
How chained I shall ever be
O how I apologize dear friend

Farwell o dear friend
May you soar forever free
In your eternal tree
Farwell o my dear friend
Farwell
