E, B7

Imagine. What it would be like.
To see, a giant Manta Ray, set free into the Ocean.

An Ocean, the Ray had only dreamed of.
Being born in captivity.
Freedom, can come to those who choose it.
But what about those, who, don’t have the choice?

Have we forgotten, that we have ours?

We can find.

Find our hearts.
