7. A Girl Named Free
(music – Justin Marshall, words – Zulya Kamalova)

lyrics

There was a girl, her name was Free, and she was happy and
She loved to fly in the sky very high, effortless she was.
But one day her wings got blistered by the sun but she said
It’s ok, I won’t cry, I will ride on my horse.

With her hair flying Free rode through the mountains and
The steppe, she was rebellious and strong.
Everywhere she was exalted and desired,
No one thought she could be wrong.

But the horse was wild, it threw her off but Free said, it’s ok, I’ll catch a tram.
Inspectors came, the tram derailed, she just smiled and said -
On a bike I’ll ride. But soon fell off and went on foot instead, got lost.
Free was tired, on the grass she then laid.

With her hair tangled Free walks through the city streets,
She still has hope but is tired and poor.
All her life she looked for happiness,
Now no one knows what has become of her…
