I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Insp By Maya Angelou

I know why the caged bird sings He sings to let us know We are still here That we will survive I know why the caged bird sings To tell our people Don't let them get you down Don't ever let them make you quit Ever He sings to show The power of your heart That no matter the pain and anguish We will forge on That we will cross that bridge of woe From the day we were dropped on Plymouth rock Until we saw Bro. Floyd and Sis. Taylor murdered Our voices WILL continue to rise We know why the caged bird sings Thank you Mama Angelou (c)kingpen2021
