They sing their sweet song You listen attentively They sing the same notes over again Why? Oh the birds are free, to fly where the wind goes But what do they really mean Their chirp and chatter Possibly a cry for help Help me help me help me They cry A bird can only fly so far Can only do so much In so much time Their life is not magnificent Each day is torture When will they eat Will they become prey Will their bodies withstand the harsh elements Will their eggs survive See, the birds aren't so great What makes them different than ourselves? The birds are like people too They have feelings The birds are miserable, so why do they live? That have families too, and so they're stuck. Sure, the caged bird sings of freedom But once it's attained, they're trapped Help me help me help me
