My Songbird

Songbird in a golden cage, she'd prefer the blue
 How I crave the liquor of her song
 Poor bird who has done no harm, what harm could she do?
 She shall be my prisoner her life long
 My songbird wants her freedom
 Now don't you think I know
 But I can't find it in myself
 To let my songbird go
 I just can't let her go
 Oh Lord, when your jeweler's eye peers into my soul
 Oh 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 her freedom
 Now don't you think I know
 But I can't find it in myself
 To let my songbird go
 I just can't let her go
