Lyrics

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 you sing?
 My cage has many rooms
 damask and dark...
 Nothing there sings,
 not even my 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.
