I think I know why the caged bird sings
With no money in your pocket and no diamond rings
Some things haven’t worked out the way we’ve planned
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
We came together in the wilderness
In your hand me down cotton dress
Our eyes alight under the August moon
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
[Chorus]
Hand in hand, eye to eye, where love is deep, the river is wide
And I will sing, you to sleep, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
And when you’ve been where no one else has been
And when you’ve seen what no one else has seen
There are no words fit to explain, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
[Chorus]
Hand in hand, eye to eye, where love is deep, the river is wide
And I will sing, you to sleep, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
I think I know why the caged bird sings, this life is full of so many things
Some hurt so bad, and some feel so good, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
[Chorus]
Hand in hand, eye to eye, where love is deep, the river is wide
And I will sing, you to sleep, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
