TO A CAGED BIRD
O caged bird!
Why feel sad?
Have faith
Lose not hope
O caged bird!
Why feel sad?
Look around you
How the wind soars
Bringing tidings
Of the love beyond shores.
O caged bird!
Lose not hope
Abandon not struggle
And with faith
Take the cage too
And fly away
To your beloved
Who waits for you.
If not so then
Burn everything
Even the cage
And like the phoenix
Fly away where
Your love waits for you...
Listen to me
O caged bird
Be not afraid
Give up not hope
And with full faith
Dare and fly away
Higher and higher
Till you reach him
Who loves you...
Fly away
Yes, fly away
O caged bird
Hearken to what
I to thee say...
No use being sad
Or pining dolefully
Muster courage
And do what you must
Fly away...
Yes, fly away
Where your beloved
Waits just for you...
Shake the fears, vanquish the sigh,
Fly beyond the shores O bird,
Why do you feel so sad?
Come on, rise
And burn down the cage,
Like the phoenix,
Inflame your rage,
Find your new self
in your own ash
And rediscover
love's lost stage...
O caged bird!
Why feel sad:
Why feel bad?
O caged bird!
Please...fly away...
