Lyrics [Verse 1] Handed me a pencil Said stay inside the lines But every stroke I make now Gets marked in dark red signs [Chorus] You can't cage these paper wings No matter what your rules might bring [Verse 2] Black markers through my sentences Like bars across the sky A bird born in captivity Still knows just how to fly Every word they strike away Just makes me want to soar [Chorus] You can't cage these paper wings No matter what your rules might bring [Bridge] They built their fences higher Drew boundaries in the sand But freedom's in my fingers And ink flows where I stand (Where I stand, where I stand) [Verse 3] Each "no" becomes an answer Each wall becomes a door My thoughts break through your boundaries Like winds across the moor The more you try to hold me down The stronger that I'll sing [Chorus] You can't cage these paper wings No matter what your rules might bring (These wings were meant to bring) [Outro] (Let these wings bring me home)
