My Songbird |
| Songbird in a gilded cage |
| He’d prefer the blue |
| How I crave the liquor of his song |
| Poor bird who has done no harm |
| What harm could he do? |
| He shall be my prisoner his life long |
| My songbird wants his freedom |
| Now don’t you think I know? |
| But I can’t find it in myself |
| To let my songbird go |
| No, I can’t let him go |
| O Lord, when your jeweler’s eye |
| Peers into my soul |
| O Lord, I am overcome with shame |
| Take me, Lord, and purify |
| Heal me with a word |
| Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim |
| My songbird wants his freedom |
| Now don’t you think I know? |
| But I can’t find it in myself |
| To let my songbird go |
| No, I can’t let him go |
