I Know Why The Caged Me Gleams


A free me breathes in the air As I spread my wings As I sing and as I scream For joy No less I put my wings To the test And fly. And soar. And go through The open door The caged me sings with a soulful cry As I soar and think My, Oh My What a wonderful life... My life, sing-song like, Has there ever been a pause? Could I ever take a breath As the song bellows out of my chest? The free me swings amongst the trees I roam above the seas I feel the breeze Stings against my luscious wings I stop and stand still Staring across the majestic hill. The thrill My life is out of my will… I jump up once more Soar through the sky My feet never touch the floor I have never felt so alive. The caged me sings with a soulful cry As I soar and think My, Oh My What a wonderful life...
