lirik lagu abbey lincoln - caged bird (1998)
[intro: abbey lincoln]
mmm, mmm, mmm
oh, oh, oh
mmm
[verse 1: abbey lincoln]
the birds who live in cages never spread their wings
they sit with ruffled feathers on the tiny swings
and speculate birdseed and while away the day
and tuck their heads in feathers of a colorful array
[chorus: abbey lincoln]
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
birds were made to fly away
birds were made to sing
[verse 2: maggie brown]
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
looks around from side to side and listens for the way
[chorus: maggie brown]
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
birds were made to fly away and
birds were made to sing
[outro: abbey lincoln & maggie brown]
ah
ah
ah
ah
