Sad birds do fly on low
acting so evil and cold
thinking they are so bold.
Yet, they got caught
-and sent back in the cage
where they truly belong.
Lost in another day,
in a world so gray,
yet, they know they must pay,
for all their evil ways.
In a prison, they now call home,
Oh, now look at the sad old birds
I had ever done see-
that craves to be free.
They lay back to think
of their better days,
a place they will forever crave.
Oh, this cruelest fate
when they had lost his way
in a blink of an eye
they are slammed in the birdcage.
Knowing they will never fly again,
-for a long time,
these old birds must have lost their minds
to do all these hateful crimes.
Because now they must pay the time
for all their dirty deeds-
that kept them captive to their sins.
Sins they kept repeating
over and over again,
So now they lost all their rights
to ever fly again.
Now they have to think twice
-and pay that painful price,
that had landed them in the cage
in the first place.
