Bird In a Cage
its cruel to keep a bird in a cage
I cant tell you how this fills with me with rage
I watch you poor thing sit with your head down
feeling unhappy, your face with a frown
I know how you long to flap your wings and fly
but all you can do is watch the traffic go by
when I watch you, it makes me want to cry
oh beautiful bird, all I can do is ask myself why
I wish that I could take you back to where you belong
where you could sit in a tree and hear the bird song
where you could fly forever more and feel the wind in your feather
instead my heart breaks, for this cage you can leave, never
oh poor little sad bird, I so long to set you free
all the beauty in the world I want you to see
poor little bird please dont cry, I will sing you a song
about the beautiful place, you really belong
