JOHANNA
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 they're 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
