The Caged Bird (Inspired by Maya Angelou)
I'm singing in my cagethinking of the day
I will finally be free
I wake up early
to catch the worm
but all I get is seeds
The seeds are dry and bitter
I'd rather taste freedom
Fly with the other birds
see different people
I want to see the world
beyond these bars
I want to spread my wings
among the stars
soon my dream will be a reality
I will fly so far, so free
but until that day comes
I'm confined to my cage
singing until my heart gives away
But don't be sad for me
for I sing because in my heart
I know that one day
I will leave and be free
to go wherever the wind takes me
