深い森

(ｉｎｓｉｄｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｂｉｒｄｃａｇｅ　ｆｒｅｅｄｏｍ　ｉｓ　ｓｕｎｇ)

Inside the birdcage freedom is sung

(ｓｏ　ｌｏｕｄ　ｔｈａｔ　ｏｕｒ　ｆｒｅｅｄｏｍ　ｓｏｎｇ)

So loud that our freedom song

(ｃａｎ’ｔ　ｂｅ　ｈｅａｒｄ)

can't be heard

(ａｌｌ　ｔｈｅ　ｌｉｖｅｓ　ｌｏｓｔ)

All the lives lost

(ｍａｋｅ　ｎｏ　ｄｉｆｆｅｒｅｎｃｅ　ｔｏ　ｕｓ)

make no difference to us

(ｔｈｅ　ｐｒａｙｅｒｓ　ｏｆ　ｂｅａｓｔｓ　ｌｏｃｋｅｄ)

The prayers of beasts locked

(ｉｎｓｉｄｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｃａｍｐ)

inside the camp

(ａｒｅ　ｓｏｆｔｌｙ　ｓｕｒｒｏｕｎｄｅｄ)

Are softly surrounded

(ｂｙ　ｔｈｅ　ｐｏｉｓｏｎ　ｇａｓ)

by the poison gas

(ｉｔ’ｓ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｗｈａｔ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ)

It's just like what the world

(ｆｅａｒｅｄ　ｏｆ　ａｌｌ　ｔｈｏｓｅ　ｙｅａｒｓ　ａｇｏ)

feared of all those years ago

(ｔｈｅ　ｓｔｏｒｉｅｓ　ｆｒｏｍ　１９４０　ｔｏ　１９４５)

The stories from 1940 to 1945

(ｅｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ　ｅｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ)

End of the world End of the world

(ｉｎｓｉｄｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｂｕｇ　ｃａｇｅ)

Inside the bug cage

(ｔｈｅ　ｂｕｔｔｅｒｆｌｙ　ｐｒａｙｓ　ｏｆ　ｆｒｅｅｄｏｍ)

the butterfly prays of freedom

(ａｎｄ　ｏｕｒ　ｆｒｅｅｄｏｍ)

And our freedom

(ｐｒａｙｅｒｓ　ｃａｎ’ｔ　ｂｅ　ｈｅａｒｄ)

prayers can't be heard

(ａｌｌ　ｔｈｅ　ｌｉｖｅｓ　ｌｏｓｔ)

All the lives lost

(ｍａｋｅ　ｎｏ　ｄｉｆｆｅｒｅｎｃｅ　ｔｏ　ｕｓ)

make no difference to us

(ｉｎ　ａ　ｐｅｔ　ｓｈｏｐ　ｗｈｅｒｅ)

In a pet shop where

(ｌｉｆｅ　ｈａｓ　ａ　ｐｒｉｃｅ　ｔａｇ)

life has a price tag

(ｗｅ　ｐｉｃｋ　ｕｐ　ａｎｄ　ｈｏｌｄ)

We pick up and hold

(ｔｈｅ　ｌｏｎｅｌｙ　ｃａｔ　ｔｏ　ｏｕｒ　ｃｈｅｓｔｓ)

the lonely cat to our chests

(ｉｔ’ｓ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｂｕｙｉｎｇ　ａｎｄ　ｓｅｌｌｉｎｇ)

It's like buying and selling

(ａ　ｌｉｆｅ　ｆｏｒ　ｐｒｏｆｉｔ)

a life for profit

(ｏｈ，　ｗｈａｔ’ｓ　ｉｔ　ｃａｌｌｅｄ　ａｇａｉｎ？)

Oh, what's it called again?

(ｉ’ｍ　ｔｏｏ　ｔｉｒｅｄ　ｔｏ)

I'm too tired to

(ｒｅｍｅｍｂｅｒ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｄ)

remember the word

(ｅｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ　ｅｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ)

End of the world End of the world

(ｅｖｅｒｙｂｏｄｙ　ｈａｓ　ａ)

Everybody has a

(ｄｉｆｆｅｒｅｎｔ　ｖｉｅｗ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｗｏｒｌｄ)

different view of this world

(ｉ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｌｉｖｅ　ｉｎ　ｈａｒｍｏｎｙ)

I just want to live in harmony

(ｔｈｅｒｅ　ｉｓ　ｎｏ　ｌｉｆｅ　ｔｈａｔ　ｃｏｍｅｓ)

There is no life that comes

(ｗｉｔｈ　ａ　ｐｒｉｃｅ　ｉｎｔｏ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｗｏｒｌｄ)

with a price into this world

(ｉ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｔｒｅａｓｕｒｅ　ｅｖｅｒｙｔｈｉｎｇ)

I just want to treasure everything

(ｅｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ)

End of the world

(ｏｎｅ　ｄａｙ　ｉ　ｂｅｇａｎ　ｔｏ　ｆｅｅｌ　ｔｈａｔ　ｄｏｇｓ)

One day I began to feel that dogs

(ｗｅｒｅｎ’ｔ　ｌｏｃｋｅｄ　ｕｐ　ｉｎ　ｃｈａｉｎｓ)

weren't locked up in chains

(ｓｏ　ｐｌｅａｓｅ　ｌｅｔ　ｍｅ　ａｓｋ　ｙｏｕ　ｔｈｉｓ)

So please let me ask you this

(ｗｈａｔ　ｉｓ　ｔｈｅ　ｒｅａｓｏｎ)

What is the reason

(ｔｈａｔ　ｙｏｕ　ａｒｅ　ｆｒｅｅ？)

that you are free?
