From the musical Glee Club Smarties comes a gospel rock barnburner. Written for SATB voices with piano accompaniment by American composer Jeffrey Eric Funk, CAGED BIRD provides opportunities to spotlight soloists along with plenty of backup from the choir. If you're looking for a song to fire up an audience, you've found it Caged Bird by Jeffrey Eric Funk If I could fly thru the sky, I'd reach up and touch the stars I know someday my dreams will take me far I'll sing a brand new song, sing it proud and strong I long for the day I'll spread my wings Just hear how a caged bird sings A caged bird sings for freedom Freedom won't you hear my song? I've been lock'd up far too long Spread my wings I long to fly I watch the clouds changin' shape, I see colored autumn leaves I'll get my chance to soar above the trees I'll make a joyful noise; hope is in my voice My day is approaching, you will see I know soon I will be free CHORUS Take me, take me to the sky Oo, lift me, lift me higher. Higher Sing Come 'n' listen to my voice Hear how a caged bird sings CHORUS *Lyric sheet provided by the author/publisher and is used by permission.
