Caged Bird Who Sings (l)
By: Me

In a prison lives a boy
Who is innocent at heart
Who did nothing wrong
Except for self-defense

And in the morning
He is silent, not saying a word
But as the sun sets
He sings

He sings because he believes
He believes that his mother
Whose cries haunts him
Will soothe by his voice

He sings
Because all those who aren't guilty
Will find peace and hope
Through his voice

He sings at night
Because in the morning he would not be listened to
But at night all is quiet so he will heard
And so he sings

The guards starve him
They beat him up
But even they know
They are wrong

Because as they beat him while he sings
They hear the words of the song and wonder
How a soul so pure lives in here
But even with him being beat up
He sings

But once as the mother eyes were strained with tears
And the light of hope for others was dim
The guards were waiting with sticks
But the song never came.
