A caged bird leaps its way to freedom
and success
By following the educational path
So they say
But what if the caged bird doesn’t
want to do life that way?
A caged bird must go to college
they say, to get a degree, to be free.
But what if the caged bird doesn’t
want to do life that way?
A free bird who has been to the stars
Says follow the traditional path
The caged bird says, well fifteen
years of my life have just passed.
So as the caged bird sits in its cage
Waiting for its first free day
It wonders whether this life is for him
Or if he should just keep tapping his foot
Till the lights go dim
A free bird says it has the moon
on its wings
But does it not regret spending time
Walking the path to so called glory
When it now has to work till
The end of its story?
A caged bird must go to college
They say, to get a degree to be free.
But the caged bird said to me
“Do I have to do all that to be free?”
