Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The birds who live in cages
They never spread their wings
They sit with ruffled feathers
On the tiny swings
And speculate the birdseeds
And while away the days
And tuck their heads in feathers
Of a colorful array
[Verse 2]
I know why the caged bird sings
A sweet and soulful song
I know why the caged bird sings
When everything seems wrong
I know why the caged bird sings
And flaps its tethered wings
Well, birds were made to fly away
Birds were made to sing
[Verse 3]
Oh, the birds who live in cages
Feel the morning sun
Shining through the window
Where the captor lives by gun
And stretches forth its body
And warbles for the day
It looks around from side to side
And searches for the way
[Verse 4]
I know why the caged bird sings
A sweet and soulful song
I know why the caged bird sings
Though everything seems wrong
[Outro]
And flaps its tethered wings
Well, birds were made to fly away
Birds were made to fly away
Yeah, birds were made to fly away, yeah
Birds
Sing
