It is the wild bird
Sitting listless in a cage
Choosing not to be heard
That puts all heaven in a rage.

The knowledge of freedom lost
Unlike freedom never known
Exacts such a heavy cost
Its repercussions are unknown.

No bird raised by hand
Can sing freedom's song
Or truly understand
Cages aren't where birds belong.
