Singing Silver

Locked away from the world outside

Trained from young how to run and hide

Flight first and never to fight

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Never given a second glance

Losing all at her very first chance

Brass doesn’t shine in the low light

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Keys dangle just out of reach

She doesn’t try even once to succeed

Staring at them every night

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Keys to the lock one day unexpected

Treated with care after years neglected

Key and lock with a click as unite

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Shying away from helping hands

Faith that has dwindled years on end

Pain and suffer has clouded her sight

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Day after day of words given comfort

Slowly willing to go after their effort

Allowing trust with all her might

A bird in a cage singing tonight

The cage door opens all the way out

She hops forward slowly with much doubt

Given a chance in the newborn twilight

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Jumping from way high up in the stars

She stretches her wings out really far

Feeling a rush of pleasing delight

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Pure as wind on soundless beach

Spreading out wing as far as can reach

Loops in the sky she beings to write

A bird in a cage singing tonight

Innocent silver cascading in lines

Old brass left in memories without shine

Like an angel in chorus heavenly flight

A bird set free soaring tonight
