Caged Bird

I understand why the caged bird sings
Her song gives her spirit wings
She can accomplish wonders
She can soar through dreams
This caged bird is singing
Different tones for differing themes!

We have responsibilities, we have fears,
We have loved ones, we have arrears,
We have friends, we have foes,
We have joys, we have woes.

We are human, we are whole,
We are mind, body, and soul
We are divine, we are blessed
We are clothed and some are well dressed

We pray, we dream
We listen, we scream
We fight, we pass by
We smile, and sometimes we cry

We live, we learn
We give, we earn
We want, we deserve
We discard, we preserve

For the
Nightingales without songs
Doves that have committed wrongs
Larks with injured wings
This caged bird loudly sings
