Do You Know Why The Caged Bird Flies?

by rich sanchez   Aug 16, 2008


Do you know why the caged bird will fly?

When its cage is opened and it looks to the sky,

The reason is because from the inside of a cage,

The world often looks like a stage,

Where the actors roam wild and free,

And they all live together happily,

So the bird in the cage begins to wish and yearn,

That one day his freedom he will earn,

for it is a proven fact that every creature who was able to roam,

no creature likes feeling alone,

For God built the urge, he put it inside,

Inside our hearts these feelings will always reside,

So the next chance you get,

Hug the ones you love,

Hold them close and do not forget,

It could be worse...

You could be the caged bird,

Who even if he could fly, may never get the chance to be free...
