Language Of Birds

[00:20.58] They say there's an underground river,
[00:23.78] That none of us can see,
[00:27.36] And it flows through winding tunnels,
[00:31.00] On its way to a tide-less sea
[00:34.53] And across that sea is an island,
[00:38.35] A paradise we are told,
[00:42.07] Where the toils of life are forgotten,
[00:45.60] And they call it the Island of Souls
[00:49.88] For only a soul can go there,
[00:53.30] A soul that's been set free,
[00:56.90] From the confines of a working life,
[01:00.56] To find eternity
[01:04.35] Your old man had a cage for his pigeons,
[01:06.89] But that's really where he kept his soul,
[01:11.20] And when he watched them fly he would see himself,
[01:15.43] Least that's how it was told
[01:18.11] But his soul was still trapped in the cage son,
[01:22.66] While the birds they soared to the sky,
[01:28.49] But he couldn't find his own way out,
[01:31.48] Least not 'til the day he died
[01:35.69] Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
[01:39.14] His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
[01:42.41] This solitary madness is where he is driven,
[01:45.61] It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
[01:51.69] It was him that was trapped in the soul cage
[02:00.91] I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words,
[02:04.92] He'd be easier speaking the language of birds,
[02:08.91] For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done,
[02:12.53] It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
[02:17.96] It was him that was trapped in the soul cage
[02:23.70] A man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
[02:27.02] His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
[02:30.73] The solitary madness is where he is driven,
[02:34.25] It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
[02:38.72] It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
