Right now I feel like a bird

Caged without a key,

Everyone comes to stare at me

So much joy and revelry.



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
