I know why the caged bird sings It sings of help It sings of being set free It sings to tell its story One of injustice and immorality It sings to plead to passers by 'Oh please set me free' It sings to say hello It sings to say goodbye It sings to congratulate it's brethren who have reached the sky It sings to mourn for those yet unable to fly It sings it's song all night and all day In hopes Someone would understand In hopes someone would relay its words
