PAROLES

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone willl change
No one stays the same

The young become the old
Mysteries do unfold
For that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of...

Except, rain comes from the clouds
Sun light up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly

Winter turns to spring
The wounded heart will heal
But never much to soon
But everything must change

The young become the old
Mysteries do unfold
But that's the way that time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of...

Except, rain comes from the clouds
Sun light up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly

Except, rain comes from the clouds
Sun light up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun light up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun light up the sky
Music makes me cry

En version Live.

PAROLES

[Spoken- Maya Angelou]
The caged bird sings
With a fearful trill
Of things unknown
But longed for still
And his tune is heard
On the distant hill
For the caged bird
Sings of freedom

A free bird leaps
On the back of the wind
And floats downstream
Till the currents end
And dips his wing
In the orange sun rays
And dares to claim the sky

But a bird that stalks
Down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through
His bars of rage
His wings are clipped
His feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing

[Yoruba call and response]
[Instrumental section]

[Spoken- Maya Angelou]
A free bird leaps
On the back of the wind
And floats downstream
Till the currents end
And dips his wing
In the orange sun rays
And dares to claim the sky

But a bird that stalks
Down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through
His bars of rage
His wings are clipped
His feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
With a fearful trill
Of things unknown
But longed for still
And his tune is heard
On the distant hill
For the caged bird
Sings of freedom

[Yoruba call and response]

For the caged bird
Sings of freedom
For the caged bird
Sings of freedom
For the caged bird
Sings of freedom

POÈME

Maya Angelou "Caged Bird" 1983. 

A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

PAROLES

You are my life and my heart's desire
You set my soul on fire
You give me joy in my darkest night
I feel your love, I said all your love
Girl you want want to fly, we'll always gettin' high on life
So you say, you want to play, we haven't last the final day
But you tryin' do, all the things I skip for you
Looking from the start, your remain within my heart
You are my life and my heart's desire
You set my soul on fire
Now the time is come and soon we have to run away
And now or never we'll be back in love again
But youre in my heart, you are wanted from the start
If you want what i do, share with me my love for you
You give me joy...
I feel your love...
You are my life...
