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 lifelong 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 Oh, 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
