Bird in a Cage

I was a bird in a cage

I sang for freedom

I sang to escape

So I set that bird ablaze

I watched as I rose

Above the flames

So high, high

I rise, rise

Out of the darkness into the light

I shine like the stars burning holes in the sky

Oh I always dreamed

Of being released

I soar through the air now

With the greatest of ease

So high, high

I rise, rise

Oh tonight

These bars turn to wind chimes

That echo out of my windpipe

As I sing from such great heights

I was a bird in a cage

I sang for freedom

I sang to escape

So I set that bird ablaze

I watched as I rose

Above the flames

So high, high

I rise, rise

So high, high

I fly, fly
