Green Finch and Linnet Bird Songtext

Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate
Sitting in cages
Never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
Beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can you remain
Staring at the rain
Maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing
Anything?
How is it you sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird
How is you sing?
My cage has many rooms
Damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
Not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
When they're captive.
Teach me to be more
Adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
Teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.
