bread and the fisherman

You can be free as a bird!
Only at the cost of your daily bread,
thrown by the scarred, dusky hands of a fisherman.

Yes, yes, you can be free as a bird!
Or as free as a bird.
How free is a bird?

            A bird
            (or anything for all that matters)
            is as free as the amount of food in its belly.

You can be (as) free as a bird!
