A Little Bird I am

A Little Bird I am

Shut from the fields of Air,

And in my cage, I sit and sing,

To him who placed me there,

Well pleased a prisoner to be,

Because, my God, it pleases Thee.

A Little Bird I am

Bird sings a melodious song,

And it dances in the cage along,

I want to fly high in the sky,

And want to ask the world and say Why.
