Lyrics:

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

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

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

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
