It could be a poem or the lyrics to a song you like. Here is a song from the 70s by Moris: "El oso" (The Bear).

I lived in the forest, so happy
I walked and walked without ceasing
The mornings and afternoons were mine
At night, I would lie down to rest

But one day, a man came with his cages
He locked me up and took me to the city
In the circus, they taught me acrobatics
And just like that, I lost my beloved freedom

"Just settle for it," an old tiger told me
"You'll never lack a roof or food
They only ask us to perform our tricks
And bring joy to the children"

Four years of this life have passed
I traveled the world with the circus like that
But I could never quite forget
My forests, my afternoons, or myself

In a small, remote town
Someone failed to lock the padlock
It was a moonless night
And I left the city

Now, I tread the soil of my forest
Once again, the green of freedom
I am old, but the afternoons are mine
I return to the forest; I am truly happy
