The Song of the Little Bird

Trapped in a small cage

a little flying bird sings

Sings a sad blues, a sad rage

"Poor little bird, trapped in this cage

I beg you, let him fly!

Let him fly and stop his sad rage!

"Tell me, Father, what is this bird

singing in his sad, sad cage?

Why is he singing of the dear Rain?

Why is he singing her name with much pain?"

"Oh sweetie, dear sweetie

Do not pity this little flying bird

For his cage is of love

For his cage is of pain

and yes, he wishes the sky

He wishes to fly

But he stays, he stays

For his cage is of love

For his cage is of Rain".
