The Caged Bird Sings
LAMB · Backspace Unwind 2014 · Track 12 of 12
Written by Andrew Barlow, Lou Rhodes
A man caught a tiny bird Pretty as can be Brought her home and caged her So only he could see
He loved her and he praised her And then he clipped her wings Wondered at her beauty As she began to sing
Release me Set me free
But slowly he got frightened She'd lost her precious glow He prayed and he pondered But couldn't let her go She tried her best to tell him In every way she knew 'Till heaven took her body And off her spirit flew
Release me Set me free And I'll bring you more Bring you more Bring you more Joy than you can see
Suddenly the sky Was filled with flying birds Her song was sing by all of them And finally he heard
Release me Set me free Release me Set me free
