What manner of men are these that fly so free? Not bound to any planet's rules Not tied to blocks and herding tools Not serving country-minded fools Not chained to dust like me
What manner of men are these well known to stars? Not limited to one tribe's land Not fed by any one tribe's hand A mountains where my border stand Confined by prison bars
What manner of men are these who stand alone? In all they do or say to me The echo of the stars they see Confirms that one could be so free It gnaws me to the bone
What manner of men are these? I need to know They fill my dreams with wondrous things They give my soul impatient wings They show me where my freedom springs And I am called to go And I am called to go
