| [00:23.88] |
The birds who live in cages |
| [00:43.08] |
Never spread their wings |
| [00:48.66] |
They sit with ruffled feathers |
| [00:55.65] |
Upon their tiny swings |
| [01:01.65] |
And speculate the birdseed |
| [01:07.95] |
And while away the day |
| [01:15.48] |
Tuck their heads in feathers |
| [01:22.26] |
Of colorful arrays |
| [01:28.38] |
I know why the caged bird sings |
| [01:35.28] |
A sweet and soulful song |
| [01:42.18] |
I know why the caged bird sings |
| [01:47.94] |
When everything seems wrong |
| [01:55.32] |
I know why the caged bird sings |
| [02:02.88] |
And flaps his tethered wings |
| [02:12.00] |
Birds were made to fly away |
| [02:32.31] |
And birds were made to sing |
| [02:49.83] |
The birds who live in cages |
| [02:57.33] |
Feel the morning sun |
| [03:03.75] |
Shining through the window |
| [03:08.82] |
Where the captain lives by gun |
| [03:15.90] |
And stretches forth his body |
| [03:23.22] |
And warbles for the day |
| [03:30.75] |
Moves his head from side to side |
| [03:37.08] |
And listens for the way |
| [03:43.20] |
I know why the caged bird sings |
| [03:50.58] |
A sweet and soulful song |
| [03:57.27] |
I know why the caged bird sings |
| [04:03.27] |
When everything seems wrong |
| [04:11.25] |
I know why the caged bird sings |
| [04:16.86] |
And flaps his tethered wings |
| [04:27.48] |
Birds were made to fly away |
| [05:52.71] |
And birds were made to sing |
