[00:00.00]Green Finch and Linnet Bird (From 'Sweeney Todd') - Stephen Sondheim
[00:08.49]Green finch and linnet bird
[00:10.66]Nightingale blackbird
[00:12.71]How is it you sing
[00:16.61]How can you jubilate
[00:18.89]Sitting in cages
[00:20.81]Never taking wing
[00:24.71]Outside the sky waits
[00:26.83]Beckoning beckoning
[00:28.99]Just beyond the bars
[00:33.19]How can you remain staring at the rain
[00:36.14]Maddened by the stars
[00:41.37]How is it you sing anything
[00:46.34]How is it you sing
[00:51.22]Green finch and linnet bird
[00:53.55]Nightingale blackbird
[00:55.57]How is it you sing
[00:59.71]Whence comes this melody constantly flowing
[01:03.59]Is it rejoicing or merely hallooing
[01:07.67]Are you discussing or fussing
[01:10.53]Or simply dreaming
[01:14.71]Are you crowing
[01:19.81]Are you screaming
[01:26.20]Ringdove and robinet
[01:28.26]Is it for wages
[01:30.15]Singing to be sold
[01:34.09]Have you decided it's safer in cages
[01:38.06]Singing when you're told
[01:42.04]My cage has many rooms
[01:43.92]Damask and dark
[01:45.79]Nothing there sings
[01:47.39]Not even my lark
[01:51.48]Larks never will you know
[01:53.71]When they're captive
[01:55.92]Teach me to be
[01:58.22]More adaptive
[02:02.40]Ahhhhhhhh
[02:08.36]Green finch and linnet bird
[02:10.56]Nightingale blackbird
[02:12.56]Teach me how to sing
[02:16.94]If I cannot fly
[02:24.09]Let me sing
