The Birds They Put In Cages Lyrics

[Esmeralda]

Will the birds they put in cages

Ever ride upon the wind ?

Will the children life outrages

Ever learn to love again ?

I lived my life like a swallow

I arrived here with the springtime

All the little streets I'd follow

All the gypsy song were mine

Where's my friend who rings the church bells ?

Where are you my Quasimodo ?

They will hang me as the light swells

You can break these bars I know

[Quasimodo]

Esmeralda, have you left me ?

Do you hide yourself away ?

I have counted every hour

I have missed you every day

Have you left upon a journey

With your handsome, shining soldier

With no marriage, taking love free

Like the gypsy girl you are ?

Have you died out in the small streets

With no prayer to get to Heaven ?

There's a priest who counts tour heartbeats

If he comes near, you must run

[Esmeralda]

You remember at the street fair

[Quasimodo]

When they hurt me on the great wheel

[Esmeralda]

When you begged, I gave you water

[Quasimodo]

At your feet I had to kneel

Quasimodo and Esmeralda

On that day our friendship started

It will last as long as we live

Once together never parted

All we have to give we'll give

Will the birds they put in cages

Ever ride upon the wind ?

Will the children life outrages

Ever learn to love again ?
