I sing the song of a thousand people
Who wait for the darkness to end.
They're wishing for a brighter day,
But darkness rules again.
I sing the song of a thousand caged birds
Entertaining the men all day.
One little cage bird did escape
And then the men were slayed.
I sing the song of a thousand waters
The ocean roaring loud.
I can not find the light of day,
The sun is blocked by clouds.
I sing the song of a thousand girls
Each one for their prince shall wait.
If you wait to long, I say
The dakrness shall seal your fait.
I sing the song of a thousand men
Who look for the most beautiful girl.
They do not know what true beauty is,
It does not look like a pearl.
I sing the song of a thousand kids
Who hide in their own fear.
They're waiting for their mothers' touch
And their fathers' to come near.
I sing the song of a lonely heart,
A song only I can sing.
I long to fly to my lover's side,
But I fly with a broken wing.
