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
She will die
The white bird
Dreams of the aspen tree
With the 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, and the earth turns slow
And a young bird's eyes do always glow
And she must fly
She must fly
She must fly
White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone
White bird must fly
She will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
She will die
White bird must fly
