Jess Godwin Lyrics

"Green Finch And Linnet Bird"
(originally by Stephen Sondheim)

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate sitting in cages
Never taking wing?

Outside the sky waits
Beckoning, beckoning
Just beyond the bars
How can you remain staring at the rain
Maddened by the stars?

How is it you sing anything?
How is it you sing?
