This song came out in 1968 - so the meaning must be about the events of that time. Racial strife Vietnam war ect. White bird typically represents the bird of peace - in a golden cage - America has peace caged and is in and fully engaged in war. She only flies when she dies......as I think we all do when the spirit leaves the body. Beautiful song with a very sad setting.
