Caged Bird
Why do people always lie?
Do you like winter nights?
Eyes shut,the moon shining bright,
When snowflakes melting under black ash,
a crow is getting choked by a white trashbag,
again and again,
this shit won't end,
I soak it up,I hide the pain and the fear,
they want me to live it up,
again and again,this shit won't end,
I soak it up,I hide the pain and the fear,
We all have to lift them.
Up,why they lie on the ground?
Alone,having shivers...
Down,with your hand to the ground,
pull'em out of this river!
How can we live our precious life?
Counting days 'til we're finally dying,
I will not throw myself away,
hands are made to fight and not to pray!
Why do people always lie?
Do you fear summer nights?
Eyes shut,a town is burning bright,
while you sweep away all the black ash,
another crow is getting choked by a white trashbag,
again and again,
this shit won't end,
I soak it up,I hide the pain and the fear,
they want me to live it up,
again and again,this shit won't end,
I soak it up,I hide the pain and the fear,
we all have to lift them...
"The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom."
