A Caged Bird Will Sing
A CAGED BIRD WILL SING
What beauty is heard when a caged bird sings
In its own; sad vanity to be heard
Such; in its own sorrow, sadness it brings
This being; the plight of a lonesome bird
Sending its message; within its own song
Gives its all; hoping you will heed its call
Yearning for freedom; it's where it belongs
Yet sadly: its song is its own downfall
A dream of beyond its own cage is fraught
No such survival beyond it's own bars
Domestication; is all it is taught
In its lack of freedom, carries the scars
But; in its own diversity, it sings
Just so some happiness; to you it brings
