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?
My cage has many rooms,
Damask and dark
Nothing there sings,
Not even my lark
Larks never will, you know
When their captive
Teach me to be more adaptive
Ahhhhhhhh
Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
Teach me how to sing
If I cannot fly
Let me sing
Thanks to Julie for these lyrics
