I do not know everything I do not know why some birds fly And some birds don't sing, When early morning comes Some birds cry And some birds are listening To the rising sun
And I do not know nothing For I see how the caged bird Is a sparrow without wings And the smaller his cage gets The louder he sings The more broken his wings are The stronger he believes
And after all this I only know one thing That we are like sparrows And in the abandoned Lies the beauty of our humanity And that is why the caged bird Will always sing beautifully
