Caged Bird - Tidal

Old shack with a zinc roof

Rain noise to go to sleep to

Lie drained with tired eyes

Tuck in and kiss you goodnight

Sweet dreams of better things

I smile as the bird sings

Look far beyond your confines

For pure untainted mind

Oh, don’t you know why the caged bird sings?

I fly with tied wings

I fly with tied wings

I fly with tied wings

Look what the hard times bring

I fly with tied wings

I’ve done my time and I don’t regret a thing

What goes around comes around

My past should keep my feet down

No need to leave ground

A better way can be found

I’ve been beyond these four walls

They’re not the be and end all

I won’t be there to hold your hand

But with you I will stand

Oh, don’t you know why the caged bird sings?

Oh, don’t you know why the caged bird sings?

I fly with tied wings

I fly with tied wings

I fly with tied wings

Look what the hard times bring

I fly with tied wings

I’ve done my time and I don’t regret a thing

When the clock stops ticking and your time is spent

Tell me, do you feel content?

Oh, don’t you know why the caged bird sings?
