C F C

Songbird in a golden cage

C G C

She'd prefer the blue

F C G C

How I crave the liquor of her song

C F C

Poor bird who has done no harm

C G C

What harm could she do

F C G C

She shall be my prisoner her life long

F C

My songbird wants her freedom

F C

Now don't you think I know

C Dm Em F

But I can't find it in myself

Am G Am

To let my songbird go

F G C

I just can't let her go

SOLO

C F C

O Lord, when your jeweler's eye

G C

Peers into my soul

F C G C

O Lord, I am overcome with shame

C F C

Take me, Lord, and purify

C G C

Heal me with a word

F C G C

Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim

F C

My songbird wants her freedom

F C

Now don't you think I know?

C Dm Em F

But I can't find it in myself

Am G Am

To let my songbird go

F G C

I just can't let her go
