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
