| 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
|
| 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
|
| You dreamed you heard a song
|
| Outside 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
|
| When 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 and I’ve tried harder to chase
|
| 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 all birds in a cage? |
| (birds in a cage)
|
| Are we all born this way? |
| (are we born this way?)
|
| We try not to think about it
|
| What 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 |
