Little birds in a cage Little birds in a rage Blue, green, red and pink Plumage in a bundle sits and thinks
When night comes perched puffed-up feathers falls asleep An hour before dawn all dreams searched Chattering, quarreling, screaming-singing leaps From cage, to wall, to ear Penetrating to outside song In reply to cries, far and near Similar performances all day long
Little friends from birth Flightless friends of earth Enclosed ' together with only Music, to be free.
