The Caged Bird

This is where the rubber meets the road This is where you bear that heavy load This is where the river meets the sea This is where the fire burns within This is where you fit in your own skin This is where you get down on your knees Ain't nobody all alone we're all made of flesh and bone There's one thing you've got to see That no matter where you roam we're all just heading home One day we'll all be free This is where the ocean meets the sky This is when you get the binds to tie This is when the words you know are true This is why the caged bird starts to sing This is when the flatpick hits the strings This is when there's justice for me and you Ain't nobody all alone we're all made of flesh and bone There's one thing you've got to see That no matter where you roam we're all just heading home One day we'll all be free This is when the sun shines on the leaves This is when the moss hangs on the eves This is when the embers start to glow This is when the light shines from within This is when the whole world starts to spin This is when you come and when you go Ain't nobody all alone we're all made of flesh and bone There's one thing you've got to see That no matter where you roam we're all just heading home One day we'll all be free Ain't nobody all alone we're all made of flesh and bone There's one thing you've got to see That no matter where you roam we're all just heading home One day we'll all be free
