The bird in the cage
Felt like this from such a young age
The little bird, trapped in a cage
Looking out into the big world, out there
Felt like this from such a young age
/
It wants its chance to take centre stage
But through the bars, the others said ‘Beware!’
The little bird, trapped in a cage
/
It wants its freedom to engage
But the high walls add to this nightmare
Felt like this from such a young age
/
Shocked looks if it shows any rage
Who can answer a simple prayer?
The little bird, trapped in a cage
/
It doesn’t want to upstage
It just wants to show why they are so rare
Felt like this from such a young age
/
Opening that door will certainly assuage
And welcome in fresh freedom air
The little bird, trapped in a cage
Felt like this from such a young age
