Born in a Cage

All over the world

The little birds stop singing

Morning comes through the trees

but they are gone

Maybe they're fast asleep somewhere or tired

Or finally forgotten the song

 

Year after year they disappear from the valley

Year after year they disappear from the high plains

Mothers still cry

But after a while

No one's searching

Just a faded sign in the rain

 

Another day goes by in this strange age

Are they gone or do they hide from the rage

Or do they wake one day

With the sunrise

So tired

Born in a cage

All over the world

The little birds stop singing

Are they gone or do they hide

In the eaves

All that I know is

More and more are disappearing

They don't say goodbye

And no one sees them leave

 

Another day goes by

In this strange age

Are they gone or do they hide from the rage

Or do they wake one day

With the sunrise

So tired

Born in a cage
