|
A man caught a tiny bird |
|
Pretty as can be |
|
Brought her home and caged her |
|
So only he could see |
|
He loved her and he praised her |
|
And then he clipped her wings |
|
Wondered at her beauty |
|
As she began to sing |
|
Release me |
|
Set me free |
|
But slowly he got frightened |
|
She'd lost her precious glow |
|
He prayed and he pondered |
|
But couldn't let her go |
|
She tried her best to tell him |
|
In every way she knew |
|
'Till heaven took her body |
|
And off her spirit flew |
|
Release me |
|
Set me free |
|
And I'll bring you more |
|
Bring you more |
|
Bring you more |
|
Joy than you can see |
|
Suddenly the sky |
|
Was filled with flying birds |
|
Her song was sing by all of them |
|
And finally he heard |
|
Release me |
|
Set me free |
|
Release me |
|
Set me free |
