I have been a caged bird. Caged with no way out. Everyone would come to see my beauty. Amazed and dazed they'd say how beautiful and listen to me sing. No one ever questioned my singing even though they were cries for help. Because I was a caged bird.
I have been a caged bird. Miserable in my own surrounding. Day in and day out I sing.. Day in and day out they come. Smiling, laughing and not even noticing my misery. I want them to open my cage, set me free.. But they never do. Because I was a caged bird.
I am no longer a caged bird. I let myself be free. I stopped waiting for the people watching to set me free and started dreaming. I told myself I wasn't a caged bird anymore that singing will set me free. As I sang, they stayed longer and as they smiled I smiled. Until one day, the cage opened and I was free.
