Right now I feel like a bird

Caged without a key

Everyone comes to stare at me

With 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 doin' to me

Keeping me from flyin'



That's why I say that

I know why the 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

Spreadin her wings and her song

Let her

Fly, fly fly

For the whole world to see



She's like a caged bird

Fly, fly

Ooh shoulda let her fly

shoulda let her fly

Shoulda let her fly



Spread wings

Spread beauty
