The Caged Bird Sings

[00:05.45] A man caught a tiny bird
[00:17.26] Pretty as can be
[00:21.76] Brought her home and caged her
[00:26.25] So only he could see
[00:31.76] He loved her and he praised her
[00:37.12] And then he clipped her wings
[00:41.69] Wondered at her beauty
[00:46.13] As she began to sing
[00:50.75] Release me
[00:57.04] Set me free
[01:11.58] But slowly he got frightened
[01:14.23] She'd lost her precious glow
[01:17.82] He prayed and he pondered
[01:23.24] But couldn't let her go
[01:28.70] She tried her best to tell him
[01:33.28] In every way she knew
[01:37.77] 'Til heaven took her body
[01:44.02] And off her spirit flew
[01:48.63] Release me
[01:53.12] Set me free
[01:57.61] And I'll bring you more
[02:03.09] Bring you more
[02:08.51] Bring you more
[02:13.03] Joy than you can see
[02:25.68] Suddenly the sky
[02:34.75] Was filled with flying birds
[02:40.13] Her song was sung by all of them
[02:45.52] And finally he heard
[02:50.08] Release me
[02:54.69] Set me free
[03:02.70] Release me
[03:41.63] Set me free
[03:45.26]
