Caged Bird Sings

from Birds by C. James Conrad

/

lyrics

He sings of things he longs for
He sings of things unknown
He sings his rage against the cage
For he was meant to roam
Locked up in the shadows
His fearful trill is heard
He sings his prayers to Heaven
But freedom's just a word

I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
His feet are tied; no he can't fly; not with those clipped wings
But oh, how that caged bird sings
Oh how that caged bird sings

The free bird frolics on the wind
Cavalier and daring
Claiming earth and sky his own
Callous never caring
Watch him spread his wings with pride
And chose his destiny
He often takes for granted
The gift that he is free but

I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
His feet are tied; no he can't fly; not with those clipped wings
But oh, how that caged bird sings
Oh how that caged bird sings

I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
His feet are tied; no he can't fly; not with those clipped wings
But oh, how that caged bird sings
Oh how that caged bird sings
