I know why the caged bird sings I know why she sings a sad refrain Even when there's no one to listen I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the old man plays Why he plays his violin Even when there's no one to listen I know why the old man plays
A busy world crowded with pain Never has time to stop and listen A simple moment, a quiet touch Can mean so much
I know why the lonely child cries I know why she hides behind her smile Even when there's no one to listen I know why the lonely child cries
God can hear the caged bird sing Knows the song the old man plays And even when there's no one to listen God can hear the lonely child cry
I know why the caged bird sings...
Song Description: "So many of us spend our lives busying ourselves to avoid dealing with our pain. We become so blinded by our own hurts that we often fail to see the heartache and loneliness of others around us. It's comforting to know that God is always there even when no-one else is. (Psalm 139)"
