Green Finch and Linnet bird

Nightingale Blackbird

How is it you sing?

How can you jubilate

Sitting in cages

Never taking wing?

Outside the sky waits

Beckoning beckoning

Just beyond the bars

How can you remain

Staring at the rain

Maddened by the stars?

How is it you sing anything?

How is it you sing?

Green Finch and Linnet bird

Nightingale Blackbird

How is it you sing?

Whence comes this melody

Constantly floating?

Is it rejoicing or merely a loaming?

Are you discussing?

Or fussing

Or simply dreaming?

Are you crowing?

Are you screaming?

Ring dove and Robinet

Is it for wages?

Singing to be sold?

Have you decided it's safer in cages

Singing when you're told?

My cage has many rooms

Damask and dark

Nothing there sings

Not even my Lark

Larks never will you know

When they're captive

Teach me to be more adaptive

Green Finch and Linnet bird

Nightingale Blackbird

Teach me how to sing

If I cannot fly

Let me sing
