No Use for a Gilded Cage

Little bird, you may have noticed
That you are free to fly
As high as your little wings take you,
With no limit, but the sky.

Higher than any place you could fly
If you were trapped in a cage.
Higher than the vaulted ceilings of buildings,
Higher than the mountaintop sage.

The things you will see,
The things you'll achieve,
Phenomenal things, you'll see,
You wouldn't normally believe.

No use for a gilded cage,
I know I'll never be alone,
As my little bird will always
Return to her loving home.
