Wild Things

O! The birds in the bush are but wild things. Joyful and pleasant are their freeing songs. Yet when captured and cages they still will sing. O! The birds in the bush are but wild things, Yet song from a cage gives a somber ring, Prayers he sings for where his heart belongs. O! The birds in the bush are but wild things. Joyful and pleasant are their freeing songs.
