You are a Golden Canary Spend your days Wishing you were free You are a Golden Canary Made your choices Chose captivity You'll never be the things You say you want to be Live your life singing In misery You'll never be as free As the eagle flies Don't realise that you chose Carelessly You are a Golden Canary Spend your days Wishing you were free You are a Golden Canary Made your choices Chose captivity Your life replaced as you take Your final breath No lasting home in the mind Of the ones you saved No legacy that stays In their memory This sacrifice is not The one you made You are a Golden Canary Spend your days Wishing you were free You are a Golden Canary Made your choices Chose captivity
