The Caged Bird Sings

A man caught a tiny bird Pretty as can be Brought her home and caged her So only he could see He loved her and he praised her And then he clipped her wings Wondered at her beauty As she began to sing Release me Set me free But slowly he got frightened She'd lost her precious glow He prayed and he pondered But couldn't let her go She tried her best to tell him In every way she knew 'Til heaven took her body And off her spirit flew Release me Set me free And I'll bring you more Bring you more Bring you more Joy than you can see Suddenly the sky Was filled with flying birds Her song was sung by all of them And finally he heard Release me Set me free --- The Caged Bird Sings - Lamb
