Gilded Cage

Have you heard the pretty bird in the gilded cage sing Its melody is like a rhapsody oh what joy it can bring But, if you knew like I do of a once broken wing You'd understand that its lyrics say a quite different thing Its song, is full of rage and sorrow About forgotten yesterdays and lost tomorrows About the freedom it will never have again So, take another listen my friend Give notice, take heed lend an ear Is it really just a melody you hear
