[Verse:] Locked in a cage I'm sad as I can be Singing my song all the day long It seems I can hear the forest calling me How I keep longing just to be free [Refrain:] I'd love to leave my little red lacquer cage And fly away out there where I Could sing my beautiful song In the forest where I belong The little birds that live in a tree Would love to hear my sweet melody I hate to sing the song that God gave to me In a little red lacquer cage
