Abbey Lincoln Caged Bird歌词


(refrain)

The birds who live in cages

never spread their wings.

They sit with ruffled feathers

on the tiny swings,

and speculate the bird seed

and while away the day,

and tuck their heads in feathers

of a colorful array.

(chorus)

I know why the caged bird sings

A sweet and soulful song.

I know why the caged bird sings

and flaps it's tethered wings.

Birds were made to fly away,

and birds were made to sing.

(refrain)

The birds who live in cages

feel the morning sun,

Shining through the window,

where the captor lives by gun,

and stretches forth its body

and warbles for the day,

looks around from side to side,

and listens for the way.

(chorus)

I know why the caged bird sings

A sweet and soulful song.

I know why the caged bird sings

and flaps it's tethered wings.

Birds were made to fly away,

and birds were made to sing.
