Bird in a cage
Something to eat, somewhere to sleep
But nowhere to turn.
You called me your queen, strapped to this perch
Promising love but then you adjurned.
I can't break these bars, is this who you are?
Grant me my freedom to fly, open the door
Just let me go.
You know my home is the sky, open your eyes.
You're telling me "no, you don't wanna do that:"
You took me in, sheltered my heart, healed one of my wounds,
Then draped the cage.
There's just enough light, to not feel so blind
But still, the dark baptizes my rage.
I tried to bend these bars.
Don't you have a heart?
Grant my freedom to fly,
Open the door, just let me go.
You know my home is the sky, oh but your eyes,
Are telling me "No, you don't wanna do that. You don't wanna do that."
One day while stroking my head so gently,
I will cut you, fight from this prison
You'll be leaving, with the scars you gave your heart
You don't want that
You don't want that
Bird in a cage
Hope is by day, patience by night
Someday I'll fly
