Birds In Cages

Silver pond in a forest somewhere

As the sun sinks down there's gold everywhere

Silver and gold that can never be sold

These are things nature can bring

Every evening these treasures are there

Soar on wings that catch every breeze

See the things nobody sees

Half and wind as the sunset begins

Sky unfolds and it fills up with gold

And you'll fly ever higher wherever you please, please

Birds in cages sing of freedom

Sing through bars of steel

Free birds dance on air and never

Know how prison really feels

Birds in cages bound by wires

Dream of other things

Of Gold and silver and evening fires

All beyond reach of their wings

Birds in cages

These green leaves are you and I

These great wings can own the sky

Like a picture so rare that no one would dare

Call it their own it's not a gift it's a loan

Like dew drops in spider webs, jewels in my eyes, my eyes

Birds in cages dream of freedom

Sing through bars of steel

And free birds dance on air and never

Know how prison really feels

Birds in cages bound by wire

Dream of other things

Of Gold and silver and evening fires

All beyond their wings

Birds in cages

Birds in cages
