Caged Bird Lyrics by Aubrey Peeples

The only view you've ever had -
Is far from inside out.
Faith keeps telling you there's more,
But you believe in doubt.
Well i guess nobody told you -
How beautiful you are.
'Cos the door was always closed
When you got too far.

They tricked you into thinking both your wings
are clipped 'n' you ain't ever seeing the sky.
If you could see what i see,
Maybe then you'd believe,
The light you got will always rise.

'Cos there's a great big world outside, oh.
Ain't it time you fly?
Life, it don't have to hurt.
You don't have to be a caged bird.

You don't have to carry, that weight on your wings.
And you don't have to silence, every song you want to sing.
And you can't even imagine, how strong you are, 'n'
The days all look the same to you. 'Cos you ain't even seen
The stars.

They tricked you into thinking both your wings are
Clipped 'n' you ain't ever seeing the sky.
If you could see what i see,
Maybe then you'd believe,
The light you got will always rise.

'Cos there's a great big world outside, oh.
Ain't it time you fly?
Life, it don't have to hurt.
You don't have to be a caged bird.

They tackled you into thinking both your wings
Are clipped 'n' you ain't ever seeing the sky.
If you could see what i see,
Maybe then you'd believe,
The light you got will always rise.

'Cos there's a great big world outside, oh.
Ain't it time you fly?
Life, it don't have to hurt.
You don't have to be a caged bird.

Ooh...
