[Verse:]
|
Locked in a cage I'm sad as I can be
|
Singing my song all the day long
|
It seems I can hear the forest calling me
|
How I keep longing just to be free
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I'd love to leave my little red lacquer cage
|
And fly away out there where I
|
|
Could sing my beautiful song
|
In the forest where I belong
|
|
The little birds that live in a tree
|
Would love to hear my sweet melody
|
|
I hate to sing the song that God gave to me
|
In a little red lacquer cage
|
