A SONG I LEARNT WHEN I WAS YOUNG....

On a wagon bound for market,
there's a calf with a mournful eye.
High above it, there's a swallow
winging swiftly through the sky.

How the winds are laughing..
they laugh with all their might...
Laugh and laugh the whole dae through
n half the summer's night..

"Stop complaining!" said the farmer.
"Who told you a calf to be?"
"WHY DON'T YOU HAVE WINGS TO FLY WITH?
LIKE THE SWALLOW SO PROUD AND FREE?"

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered...
Never knowing the reason why....
But whoever treasures freedom...
Like the swallow has learned to fly.

Haha.. my Dad taught me when I was young too. First one I learnt was "Leaving on a Jet Plane" n then this. Well... find it meaningful~

Laaaa~
