| Green Finch and Linnet Bird |
|---|
| Green finch and linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird |
| How is it you sing? |
| How can you jubilate, singing 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 hallowing? |
| 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 a lark |
| Larks never will, you know, when they’re captive |
| Teach me to be more adaptive, ah Green finch, and linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird |
| Teach me how to sing |
| If I cannot fly |
| Let me sing |
