Lyrics

Why does the caged bird sing?
She sings to keep her spirit strong
She sings to keep from crying and to keep her soul from dying
And her dreams are measured in her song
So take your courage and fly away: open the door and be gone
Fly through the sky and soar to the sun, leaving an echo of song…
