I sing

I walk around my home and I sing

When I get bored I eat or drink

Then I use my voice and an explosion of notes hits the air

Everyone around me smiles and claps

The noise frightens me

I flap my wings, hitting the bars of my cage

I sing and mourn my freedom

Let me walk a mile in your shoes so I can taste your teardrops

Tell me of your sadness and tell me of your happiness

I want to tally all your laughs and sing the songs that make you dance

Afterwards there will be so many secrets only we can share

At the finish line we can dance together as one
