Bird In a Cage

It's safe and quiet

All you've ever known

You didn't choose it but you call it home

You wouldn't have these wings if you weren't meant to fly

It's where you learn to sing

I'll meet you on the outside

Bird in a cage

Don't know that you were born to fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

It's hard to explain

To a bird in a cage

You dreamed you heard a song

Inside the open door

They told you it was wrong

So you don't dream no more

They tell you to believe

What they believe is right

Will you choose fight or flight?

For a bird in a cage

Don't know that you were born to fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

It's hard to explain

To a bird in a cage

Same hands that hold your prayer

Same hands that keep you there

You try to shift the blame and there's nowhere to put the pain

But who you are is back behind it

And I believe that you can find it

When the dark feels like it's darker

You've tried easy

Now try harder to change

You're not a bird in a cage

You were born to fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

And you were never made

Are we are birds in a cage?

Bird in a cage

Are we all born this way?

Are we born this way?

We try not to think about it

Why we would be without it

You were never made

You were never made

To be a bird in a cage

To be a bird in a cage

You were born to fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

And you were never made

To be a bird in a cage
