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?
Green Finch and Linnet Bird,
Nightingale, Blackbird,
Teach me how to sing?
If I cannot fly,
Let Me Sing.
