For Maya
But still like air I will float
But still like an ancor you will sink
You are a succumbed sheep
while I graze free
because like air I will float
And you my sheepish shepard have sunk
Cap-sized like a raft in Katrina
Oh, caged bird you have no song
no tune to call your own
a sitting relic waiting for saving
But, I call out
All on my own
The caged bird who does sing
Ready, wing and wing
Leads the flight
Because like air I float
Break the bars
and float
Because a caged bird cannot fly
and an anchor cannot float
