Looking at the little bird
Singing in her cage,
Not a happy melody
But one filled with rage.
Looking at the open door
Wishing it would close,
The option is to scary
No one really knows.
Inside the cage this little bird
is safe behind the wall,
People sit outside the cage
and very gently call.
Come and try your wings out
Spread them oh so wide,
Little bird goes back in
Wishing she could hide.
If you open all the doors
So things can come out,
Things of sad and also bad
Will come we have no doubt.
