The Solitary Bird

I gaze at you slowly Jumping up and about in your rusted cage Leaving nothing left but white dots around As I'm looking at you, our eyes meet We start to have a demented connection And I begin to wonder if I should set you free Oh' solitary bird tell me what to do You start to chirp I'm listening carefully Documenting each and every one of your words I can't keep up I have to look away Your life locked up here, isn't good for you I lift up my arm and begin to give you bird seeds You can't help but eat them No one will let you go But don't eat too much, you'll burst Oh' solitary bird Don't be angry I'll eventually let you go But not now, people are watching No tomorrow will be better Though I will let you out at night You start to chirp slowly And I can imagine you are saying thank you For I have done a great deed for the solitary bird
