[Verse 1]
Songbird in a golden cage, she'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm, what harm could she do?
She shall be my prisoner her lifelong
[Chorus]
My songbird wants her freedom, now don't you think I know?
But I can't find it in myself to let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, when your jeweler's eye peers into my soul
Oh Lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me, Lord, and purify, heal me with a word
Oh, I beg a gift I dare not claim
[Chorus]
My songbird wants her freedom, now don't you think I know?
But I can't find it in myself to let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
