Jayne Wisener - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (The Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Green Finch and Linnett Bird

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate
Sitting in cages
Never taking wing?

Outside the sky waits
Beckoning, beckoning
Just beyond the bars

How can you remain
Staring at the rain
Maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing anything?
How is it you sing?

My cage has many rooms
Damask and dark
Nothing there sings
Not even my lark
Larks never will, you know
When they're captive
Teach me to be more adaptive

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
Teach me how to sing

If I cannot fly
Let me sing
