Just longing to be spreading the word Feeling the rain, feeling the sun But your time has not come Your song is not heard Honest bird
MALE CHORUS Singing is forbidden in the fig tree Singing is forbidden in the olive tree Singing is forbidden in the pear tree No singing in the olive or the fig or the pear tree
MALE CHORUS & CHILDREN No more singing in the fig tree No more singing in the pear tree Someone’s hanging in the olive There’s someone hanging in the olive tree
Singing in the fig tree, that’s forbidden Singing in the pear tree, that’s forbidden Singing in the love, that’s forbidden Someone’s hanging in the olive tree Someone’s hanging in the olive tree
MARIE MARIANNE You come to earth, you had no choice Could be a seamstress or serving girl or butcher’s boy Could be a deadbeat Or one of the elite Maybe the bird will find his voice And make a choice From all the wheat and all the chaff
It’s the knowledge that you glean Makes you what you’ll be And the knowledge that you lack A rod for your own back Leaves you in purgatory Honest bird, simple bird Make your choice, find your voice
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Make your choice, find your voice
