Caged Bird

The only view you've ever had is from the inside out Faith keeps telling you there's more, but you believe in doubt Well I guess nobody told you how beautiful you are 'Cause the door was always closed when you got too far They tricked you into thinking Both your wings are clipped And you ain't ever seen the sky If you could see what I see Maybe then you'd believe The light you got will always rise 'Cause there's a great big world outside Oh, ain't it time you fly? Life, it don't have to hurt You don't have to be a caged bird You don't have to carry that weight on your wings And you don't have to silence every song you want to sing And you can't even imagine how strong you are And the days all look the same to you 'cause you ain't seen the stars They tricked you into thinking Both your wings are clipped And you ain't ever seen the sky If you could see what I see Maybe then you'd believe The light you got will always rise 'Cause there's a great big world outside Oh, ain't it time you fly? Life, it don't have to hurt You don't have to be a caged bird They tricked you into thinking Both your wings are clipped And you ain't ever seen the sky But if you could see what I see Maybe then you'd believe The light you got will always rise 'Cause there's a great big world outside Oh, ain't it time you fly? Life, it don't have to hurt You don't have to be a caged bird No, you don't have to be a caged bird
