and dips his wing in the orange sun rays and dares to clean the sky.

But the bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage.

His wings are clipped and his feet are tied,

so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things

unknown but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill, but the caged bird

sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of

another breeze, and the trade winds soft through the sying trees, and the fat worms waiting on a

dawn bright lawn, and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams. His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream.

with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still.

And his tune is heard on the distant hill.

The caged bird sings for freedom.
