I know why the
caged bird sings.
For the sign of
hope that tomorow
brings. I know why
the caged bird won't fly.
Because he rests on the soul of life
and if he
flies away he will surely die.
But tell me please, oh someone please,
please tell me because I just don't understand
why that one little caged bird cries.
Is he sad, is he lonely,
is he discombobulated?
That poor little caged bird is
lost on the road. Would
someone please show
him wich way to go.
I know why the caged bird sings.
For a sign of faith that tomorrow brings.
