yo wings don't fly no mo
i've heard yo cries and told you lies
so yo heart won't grow
caged bird o caged bird
i feel the same as you
i glued feathers on my back and out the door i flew
i fell back down and hit the ground till i was black n blue
caged bird o caged bird
one day we'll all be free
we'll take our flight and hit the sky until we find our tree
they'll call our name and scream and shout
from our limbs we will sprout
caged bird o caged bird
when will they let us out!
