White bird in a golden cage

On a winter's day, in the rain

White bird in a golden cage

Alone.

The leaves blow 'cross the long black road

To the darkened sky, in its rage

But the white bird just sits in her cage

Unknown.

White bird must fly or she will die

The white bird dreams of the aspen tree

With her dying leaves turning gold

But the white bird just sits in her cage

Growing old

White bird must fly or she will die

White bird must fly or she will die

The sunsets come, the sunsets go

The clouds float by, the earth turns slow

And a young bird's eyes do always glow

And she must fly

And she must fly

And she must fly

On a winter's day, in the rain

Alone.
