My wings are meant to soar
Despite my body's design
I preferred the confinements of a cold cage, abhor
Alone, I've dreamt of blue skies and pine

Since birth, I've owned my key
To a man I gave it away
They've plucked feathers and they sight see
I hum a tune and give way

Behind bars, I spread my wings wide
I am afraid of the windows view
There will be no turning tide
It taunts me, blue

So I will lay encaged
Mouth full of worms
A man, never to be truly engaged
I fight a design He confirms
