I know what it's like to be alone
Locked within a cage
A caged bird I am
I know what it is like
To be locked within a cage
People amazed
By your harmonious voice
But behind this singing
A pain I feel, but it sure ain't by choice
I sing to be happy
Cuz' only joy comes from song
I sing to take the pain away
But they doin't know how hurt I am alone
These are the wings of my life
Hidden within a caged
So much strife in my life
Yet so much people are amazed
A caged bird wants to be set free
To live life they way you and her do see
I am a caged bird locked within myself
Crying for help in song
But no one is here to help
