Karaoke Track: Green Finch And Linnet Bird by Musical (Sweeney Todd) (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

(JOHANNAJ
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?

Green finch
And Iinnet bird

Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?

Are you discussing?
Or fussing?
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?

Ringdove and robinet
Is it for wages?

Singing to be sold?

Have you decided
It's safer in cages

Singing when
You're told?

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

If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.
