Okay so, I apologize for the horrid mic quality on those high notes. I recorded this so many times I killed my voice, and the sound still stinks.

I know you can still hear the voice in the background, but there was no better karaoke. This is the tippy top of my range, but I LOVE this song and wanted to try it, so tell me what you think.

Lyrics :

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?

How can you jubilate
Sitting in cages
Never taking wing?

Outside the sky waits
Beckoning, beckoning
Just beyond the bars

How can you remain
Staring at the rain
Maddened by the stars?

How is it you sing…
Anything?
How is it you sing?

My cage has many rooms
Damask and dark
Nothing there sings
Not even my lark
Larks never will, you know
When theyre captive
Teach me to be more adaptive
Ah…

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
Teach me how to sing

If I cannot fly
Let me sing
