Right now I feel like a bird
caged without a key.
Ev’ryone comes to stare at me
with so much joy and reverie.
They don’t know how I feel inside.
Through my smile I cry.
They don’t know what they’re doing to me,
keeping me from flying.
That’s why I say that I know why
the caged bird sings.
Only joy comes from song.
She’s so rare and beautiful to others.
Why not just set her free
so she can fly, fly, fly,
spreading her wings and her song?
Let her fly, fly, fly,
the whole world to see.
She’s like a caged bird.
Fly, fly, ooh, just let her fly,
just let her fly, just let her fly,
spread her wings,
spread beauty, mm.
A pretty accurate description of my attitude/state of mind these days

3/28/2012 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) — The Senate confirmed Air Force Lt. Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger for promotion March 26, making her the first female four-star general in Air Force history.
Wolfenbarger currently serves as the military deputy in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition here and she is one of four female lieutenant generals in the Air Force.
“This is an historic occasion for the Air Force,” said Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley. “General Wolfenbarger’s 32 years of service, highlighted by extraordinary leadership and devotion to duty, make her exceptionally qualified for this senior position and to serve as the next commander of Air Force Materiel Command.”
