Lyric

Green finch and linnet bird

Nightingale, blackbird

How is it you sing?

How can you jubilate sitting in cages

Never taking wing?

Outside the sky waits beckoning, beckoning

Just beyond the bars

How can you remain staring at the rain?

Maddened by the stars?

How is it you sing anything?

How is it you sing?

Green finch and linnet bird

Nightingale, blackbird

How is it you sing?

Whence comes this melody constantly flowing?

Is it rejoicing or merely harlowing?

Are you discussing? Or fussing?

Or simply dreaming?

Are you crowing?

Are you screaming?

Ringdove and robinet is it for wages?

Singing to be sold?

Have you decided it's safer in cages singing when you're told?

My cage has many rooms

Damask and dark

Nothing there sings not even my lark

Lark's never will you know when they're captive

Teach me to be more adaptive

Green finch and linnet bird

Nightingale, blackbird

Teach me how to sing

If I cannot fly let me sing

- It's already the end -
