Why Must The Caged Heart Sing

Gaze upon birds
Look at them all
How they fly
How they falter
And why they fall
Restless and weak
They ne'r weep
They ne'r sew
Nor doth they reap.
The door is open
Prison bars from yore
The things that bore thou prisoner
Shall captivate thou no more
Let thy soul fly free
The caged bird sings
Fly some few longer
For the things
Which bore us prisoner
Hast only made us stronger
Let thy heart not be swinish
By such desires
For the instant hath arrived
And this is thine own hour
Never be concerned
By earthly pow'r
Aye take time
To take scent to flowers
Bear fast for what
The morrow shall bring
Why, Oh why,
Might not but thy caged heart sing?
