The cage bird sings a song
It's not too short and not too long
But it's just enough that no one else will stay alone
Wake me up before you go I'll tell you everything
that you ought to know
So now I'm wasting The freedom that I've tasted
It was so sweet It was so sweet
I'm nothing more than bottom bones But I'm happy as a running home
I'll tell you the rule,
tell you The first light came and I changed
You leaned outside and called my name But
nothing of what we once were remains the same
So go ahead and try and hurt me
The
certainty that searched through me when I heard the breeze
Can't clip my wings and make me sing I'm passing out and wasting
The freedom that I've tasted It was so sweet
I'll break this cage and fly away
The only courage carrying me I left a distant memory
The open sky I'm home at last The shadows of a yorker cast
Will cover all I left
behind My only living now inside
Maybe you can touch me I'm passing out and wasting
