Caged Birds and Free Lyrics by KHJ

0

The free bird talks
With the men in blue
Marvels at their insights
And all they pursue
She takes out her keys
Shows her card to the guard
Is unable to leave them behind...
Those caged birds who walk
Within limited grounds
And sleep in the shadows
Of bars, with profound
Dreams of families, fresh food
Of lovers and friends
As they sing to their hearts locked inside
At the market this free bird
Buys spinach and kales
Sees her son, talks with daughters
Scents of roses inhales
Stashes her keys
Shows her card to the guard
And sings with the hearts locked inside
In the chow hall the caged birds
Poke at broc-li that’s grey
Make scheduled phone calls
And hear a voice say
“You have 120 seconds
Left on this call”
They must now leave their loved ones behind
At home the free bird
Gardens and cleans
Visits neighbors, takes walks
Watches chicks do their thing
Read, writes, sees films
Bakes, tweets, sends email
And cries for the hearts locked in jail
On the yard the caged birds
Play chess, run or walk
On the tiers C.O.’s yell at them
“Cut out that talk!”
They study, they cook
Do their laundry in tubs
And they reach for their hearts locked inside
Away from the prison
The free bird still hears
What the caged birds are singing
It brings her to tears
She cries “Give them freedom
Make them seen, make them heard
It’s time to leave shackles behind”
And then spreading their wings
Both the caged birds and free
Begin flying together
And sing as they see
Themselves in formation
Their hearts intertwined
They will not leave each other behind
