The Caged Bird (House Mix)

I saw a bird Locked in it’s cage And was always afraid to sing Afraid to fly, to spread its wings, to soar upon the wind. It’s longing eyes would watch the skies As the tears fell from its chin. Did it wonder What freedom was When in its cage it’s ever been? How would you find The perfect paradise If you never explore the expanse? How would you know How far you could go If you never took the chance? The incredible Is what seemed impossible At the very first glance The only way To free yourself someday Is to finally learn to dance--- [Instrumental interlude] Have you ever Felt that aching need, That hunger rising from the deep~? It’s a yearning, like a fire burning, it’s like waking from a dream—. Like a rill After the rainfall Becomes a running stream— Are you so Afraid of breaking That you’re content forever waiting? And so afraid Of even dying That you’d refuse of ever flying? My dearest one, be brave, be bold Become the flame that none can hold---- Within a cage Afraid of singing, afraid to dream, to spread your wings----- My dearest one, be brave, be bold Don’t be afraid to spread your wings
