I know men that say they know why the caged bird sings.
I know men that say they know why the freed bird sings.
I know men that say they know why the free bird sings.
I say they are wrong,

They say the caged bird sings for its freedom.
They say the freed bird sings with joy at its freedom.
They say the free bird sings with pride in its freedom.
I know the truth,

The caged bird sings with joy.
The freed bird sings with longing.
The free bird sings with sadness.
I am the caged bird.

i like how u put ur feelings as a cadged bird. i could tell that you are happy but u just feel to limited to what you can do. and this is making you feel sad. but u also have freedom. but you feel like the world is on your shoulders and everything happens to you
