Pretty Little Bird Sits Perfect and Still

Pretty little bird sitting in her cage So perfect and pretty sitting still Watching the other birds laugh and play Thinking to herself maybe one day Days gone by and years move on Looking through the bars, she waits so long Waits for someone to open her cage Open the lock, open the door Waits for someone, waits for more Pretty little bird sits perfect and still Cause good little birds fly free someday They float through the sky Up so high Floating so high Floating so high Pretty little bird sits perfect and still So many years, unbridled fears, soft flowing tears Waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting, waiting, waiting Pretty little bird slowly breathes Slowly sees how to fly free Pretty little bird lies perfect and still Her last breath flows And she can finally see The invisible cage The one she made The one she created The one she hated Pretty little bird is finally free She’s finally free Flying so high Up so high Forever and ever And ever in time Forever and ever To peaceful sublime
