The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
A haunting, lonesome song
Peering through the bars of steel
Afraid of a world unknown
It longs for freedom, wants to fly
A chance to stretch its wings
But days go by, its movements are
No more than flutterings
But truth be told, should it escape
T'would have nowhere to go
Its fearful heart is shuddering
Coz deep inside it knows
That not all cages are man made
Sometimes they're in the mind
And often times these are the ones
That have the strongest bind
A haunting, lonesome song
Peering through the bars of steel
Afraid of a world unknown
It longs for freedom, wants to fly
A chance to stretch its wings
But days go by, its movements are
No more than flutterings
But truth be told, should it escape
T'would have nowhere to go
Its fearful heart is shuddering
Coz deep inside it knows
That not all cages are man made
Sometimes they're in the mind
And often times these are the ones
That have the strongest bind
