____________________________________________________________________________

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? 

                                [Instrumental]

		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
