right now i feel like a bird
caged without a key
everyone comes to stare at me
so much joy and reverie

they don't know how i feel inside
through my smile i cry
they don't know what they're doing to me
keepin me from flying

that's why i say that i know why a caged bird sings
only joy comes from song
she's so rare and beautiful to others
why not just set her free

so she can fly fly fly
spreading her wings and her song
let her fly fly fly
and the whole world to see

she's like a caged bird
fly fly
shoulda let her fly
shoulda let her fly
should let her fly
spread wings spread beauty

mmmmm
