There she sits in a gilded cage
With the trap door a little broken
She sits in silence, all hush and quiet
But the face that's turned away has spoken

Yet she does not fly free
A newborn day comes with fresh, mint scent
And she decides to be

Inside her cage, by that door
She lives through a million springs
And sometimes coos for the little freedom
That comes to those with gilded wings.
